LAREDO, TEXAS — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the World Trade Bridge seized more than 1,100 pounds of methamphetamine worth over $10 million in street value after a commercial truck manifested as carrying polypropylene was flagged for secondary inspection on June 15, 2026.

A CBP officer referred a 2013 D-13 Volvo to secondary inspection. A canine unit and nonintrusive inspection system examination led to the discovery of 1,100.79 pounds of suspected methamphetamine concealed within the declared commodity. The estimated street value of the seizure is $10,122,012. CBP seized the narcotics along with the truck. Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating.

"This major interception reflects the steadfast dedication of CBP officers to protecting our communities from harmful drugs," said Laredo Port of Entry Port Director Alberto Flores. "The professionalism and thorough efforts of our officers are essential to our mission, and this achievement showcases the exceptional work carried out daily in the cargo environment."
