CBP seizes ten shipments of narcotics
Over the past three weeks US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Cincinnati seized ten shipments of narcotics being moved from and through the United States to countries around the world. Combined, the shipments held nearly 45 kg of dangerous and illegal narcotics: about 33.5 kg of cocaine and around 10 kg of methamphetamine, which could have a cumulative US street value of up to USD 1,214,640.
NDD Bico and x-rays led to CBP officers in Cincinnati finding cocaine sewn into the lining of this lead apron as shown in the picture. In three weeks officers in Cincinnati found nearly 45 kg of illegal narcotics concealed in several shipments.
Among others, CBP narcotics detector dog (NDD) “Bico” alerted to a socket set en route from California to New Zealand: the casing around the tools had been hollowed out and filled with methamphetamine. (cj)
