U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 77 pounds of cocaine worth more than $1 million at a port of entry in Texas, officials said.
Officers at Hidalgo Port of Entry in Texas referred a vehicle, a 2020 Renault Oroch, for a secondary inspection on Saturday, according to a CBP statement on Monday.
“A canine inspection resulted in an alert and a nonintrusive imaging system scan revealed anomalies within the vehicle,” officials said. “Upon closer physical examination, CBP officers discovered 30 packages containing a total of 34.90 kilograms (76.94 lbs.) of alleged cocaine hidden within the vehicle.”
Authorities said the narcotics had an estimated street value of $1,027,316.
