U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials seized more than $4 million worth of cocaine during a cargo inspection at the Port of San Juan on Monday. CBP officers from the Anti-Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Team selected a container for inspection, finding eight duffel bags hidden among pallets. Inside the bags, they discovered 149 brick-shaped packages weighing a total of 365 pounds, which tested positive for cocaine.
Roberto Vaquero, Director of Field Operations for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, commended the officers for their role in safeguarding the Caribbean border. This seizure is part of CBP's ongoing efforts to prevent illegal drugs from entering the U.S. and disrupt criminal networks.
