Border agents made several drug trafficking busts at the US-Mexico border in the past week — including the arrest of a US woman who was found with a bundle of drugs hidden in her privates, authorities said.
The woman, a 38-year-old US citizen, went over the border at a crossing near El Paso, Texas, at about 5 p.m. on Tuesday, US Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.
She was flagged for an additional screening — where agents found two drug bundles, one in her jacket and another in her “vaginal cavity,” the agency said.
About an hour and half later, agents at the same crossing stopped an American man driving a Mini Cooper and X-rayed the car.
The agents discovered “several anomalies in the vehicle’s quarter panels,” searched the car and found nearly 15 pounds of meth, according to a Border Patrol statement.
“CBP Officers are faced with an array of smuggling attempts and concealment methods,” the agency’s El Paso Director of Field Operations Hector Mancha said in statement.
“The Officers’ passion and dedication to our mission is critical in stopping contraband from entering our country,” he added.
