OTAY MESA, Calif. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Otay Mesa Cargo port of entry seized over five tons of narcotics Wednesday hidden in a cargo shipment.
“This truly shows the perseverance of our officers in making sure these drugs do not reach our city streets and children,” said Otay Mesa Port Director Rosa Hernandez. “I am proud of the hard work of our officers are doing.”
At approximately 6:45 a.m., on Wednesday, July 25, CBP officers encountered a 36-year-old Mexican citizen with a valid visa driving a tractor-trailer that entered the cargo facility carrying a manifested shipment of “doors and window frames.” CBP officers conducting roving operations selected the tractor-trailer for a further intensive examination.
