U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Arizona seized a large load of 110 pounds of fentanyl and 880 pounds of methamphetamine being smuggled into Arizona in a motor home.
CBP officers assigned to the Lukeville Port of Entry on Monday observed a Roadmaster Class A motor home approaching from Mexico for entry into the United States. During an initial inspection, a narcotics detection K-9 alerted to a scent it is trained to detect, according to information provided by CBP officials in Arizona.
The officers then conducted a physical search and found 129 packages filled with drugs hidden in the roof-mounted air conditioning system, officials stated. The officers tested the drugs and identified them as methamphetamine and fentanyl.
The approximately 990 pounds of drugs have an estimated street value of nearly $4.4 million, the report states.
“Our CBP officers remain focused on their mission of protecting our nation’s borders and keeping dangerous drugs from reaching our communities,” Port of Lukeville Director Peter Bachelier said in a written statement.
The officers seized the drugs and the RV and arrested the suspected drug smuggler. All were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation and preparation for prosecution.
During Fiscal Year 21, which ended on September 30, 2020, CBP officers assigned to the Tucson Field Office seized a total of 18,413 pounds of methamphetamine and fentanyl. During the first three months of this year, officers have already seized more than 5,600 pounds of these illicit and dangerous drugs.

“Delivery for a Mr. Hunter Biden!”
You read my mind! I was going to write, “So, when did Hunter roll into town?”
Kammie is, supposedly, off to meet with the head honcho Ukraine. We know that she is going to blow that assignment because she sucks at her job.
$4000 per pound sounds pretty cheap - but then my meth knowledge comes from Breaking Bad. Usually law enforcement quotes the street retail price even for wholesale quantities to boost this to eighteen bazillion dollars.
Deliver the load to the Biden Compound. He owns it.
I WOULD VOTE FOR EXECUTION ON SITE!!
When I was in school, a ton was 1,000 pounds. Seems like that has changed.
lol,that’s half a ton...
White supremacy strikes again
Were you high the day a ton was defined?
JK, typos happen!
That’s a LOT of meth and fentanyl
I tend to be libertarian and not prone to overraction and hyperbole, but bringing in that my fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction, and anyone who does it should be sent to guantanmo and water-boarded until they give up their contacts
The benefits of allowing illegals in.
FR's liberTardians will be heartbroken. Morons.
I am 62. A ton has been 2,000 pounds.
You might be thinking metric ton (1,000 Kg.)
You will start hearing the whining about how these poor young people are addicted and dying…and we need trillions in healthcare programs.
I am all for drug treatment programs…but something should be done to stop the flow of drugs that create new addicts.
Deliver the fentanyl via cropduster.
Whew! I’m sure glad they caught that RV. Otherwise, more drugs might still be coming across the border.
Job Done.
