The trifecta of seizures had a total value of $2.4 million
Despite adverse weather conditions, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at the San Diego Field Office seized narcotics, a weapon, and money totaling $2.4 million.
In total, 367 packages of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine were found in vehicles over the weekend. Agents extracted these narcotics from various parts of the vehicles, including the trunk, roof, body, air intake box, doors, floor, gas tanks, and side panels. These narcotics, seized by CBP, weighed a total of 472 pounds, with an estimated street value of $2,483,780.
In addition to the drug seizures, CBP agents at the San Ysidro port of entry discovered a 9mm pistol, an extended magazine with 33 cartridges, 30 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and marijuana in a traveler's bag.

In another incident, CBP agents at the San Ysidro port of entry found undeclared cash totaling $20,155 in a vehicle heading to Mexico.

"Officers faced adverse weather conditions over the weekend," said Sidney Aki, CBP's Field Operations Director for San Diego. "Despite the challenges, our officers stood firm, and I commend them for their exceptional performance and applaud their ongoing efforts to protect and serve our communities."

All detainees were turned over to the Department of Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation, while the narcotics, weapon, ammunition, money, and vehicles were seized by CBP.
