U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized five pounds of cocaine and 552 pounds of marijuana Thursday at the Santa Teresa border crossing, officials said Friday.
About 1 p.m., CBP officers found the cocaine hidden in the air intake manifold in the engine of a Ford Explorer coming from Mexico, officials said.
CBP officers arrested Jose Carlos Payan Nuñez, 22, of Chihuahua City, in connection with the drug-smuggling attempt.
About 4:30 p.m., CBP officers found 215 packages of marijuana in the walls of an empty horse trailer being pulled by a pickup, officials said. Adrian Valentin Perez Guillen, 28, of Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling.
