Border Patrol agents seize $109,944 at a checkpoint
At 5 p.m on Monday, Border Patrol agents seized $109,944 after the
driver of a Toyota Camry tried to avoid inspection at a Border Patrol
checkpoint.
Agents stopped the Toyota Camry with two occupants and referred
them to secondary inspection where a Border Patrol canine alerted
on the vehicle. Agents found a suitcase containing the money in the
trunk of the vehicle. Drug Enforcement Administration agents
conducted an investigation and determined the money was
connected to the proceeds of narcotics sales. The D.E.A. took
custody of the cash seizure.
Agents relinquished the driver to the Vista Detention Facility after
discovering that he was wanted on a felony warrant out of Nevada.
The passenger was released.
