Border Patrol canine team seizes almost $4 million worth of methamphetamine

Officials at the Sierra Blanca Border Patrol Station in Texas seized nearly 118 pounds of liquid methamphetamine hidden on a bus earlier this month. The drugs are worth almost four million dollars.

The methamphetamine was discovered on May 3, when a Sierra Blanca Border Patrol agent and his canine partner found two suitcases in the lower luggage compartment of a bus at a checkpoint. The suitcases contained 90 plastic bottles weighing 118 pounds. The bottles were filled with liquid methamphetamine.

The search was conducted during immigration inspections of the passengers on board the bus. However, officials could not associate the narcotics with a passenger. The drugs were sent to the Drug Enforcement Administration for further processing.

Officials said that the discovery and seizure of the narcotics were the result of highly trained canines.
