Border Patrol said this week that agents in the Laredo Sector recently seized over $1 million in narcotics. The first seizure occurred Saturday after agents at the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 35 encountered a white Dodge Durango hauling a trailer at the primary lane. The driver was questioned regarding his immigration status and was referred to secondary after a Border Patrol canine alerted to the presence of concealed humans or narcotics. A further search of the trailer resulted in the seizure of 10 bundles of marijuana weighing a combined 592 pounds. The marijuana was estimated to have a value of $473,552. The driver, a U.S. citizen, was arrested. The driver and marijuana were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration and Border Patrol seized the vehicle.
