$4 million in drugs stopped at bridge [TX]

$4 million in drugs stopped at bridge
December 5, 2006 - chron.com

Officials working the Pharr international bridge found $1.6 million worth of cocaine hidden in a Mercedes-Benz and $2.8 million worth of marijuana amid a load of cactus and coriander, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday.

The cocaine was seized on Saturday after customs officers saw something suspicious in the undercarriage of the car. A density meter showed oddities in the car's floor area and a drug-sniffing dog helped locate a compartment under the front passenger's seat, authorities said. The officers found 19 packages of cocaine weighing about 49 pounds.

Bridge officials on Friday seized about 3,500 pounds of marijuana from a tractor-trailer rig hauling a shipment of coriander and prickly pear cactus. After finding marijuana in some crates of coriander, the officers used an X-ray scanner and found 424 packages.
