LAREDO, Texas, June 23 (Del Rio Online) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than 1,100 pounds of suspected methamphetamine from a commercial truck at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, Texas, after a CBP officer referred it for secondary inspection, the agency said.

CBP said the truck, a 2013 D-13 Volvo hauling a shipment manifested as “polypropylene,” was sent for additional screening on Monday, June 15, 2026. Officers then used a canine inspection and a nonintrusive inspection system examination before finding 1,100.79 pounds of suspected methamphetamine, the agency said.

CBP said the drugs had an estimated street value of $10,122,012. The agency seized the narcotics.

Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating, CBP said.
