Brownsville, Texas -- U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Brownsville and Matamoros International Bridge discovered more than $246,000 in cocaine hidden within a man-made compartment in the floor of a Chrysler Town & Country; one Mexican citizen was arrested.

On Wednesday, October 21, at the Brownsville and Matamoros International Bridge, CBP officers referred a white 1996 Chrysler Town and Country driven by Victor Hugo Ramirez Jimenez, a 33-year-old Mexican citizen and resident of Apan Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, Mexico for a secondary inspection. >click for hi-res

Packages of cocaine are discovered in the floor of a vehicle. In secondary, CBP officers' use of high-tech tools revealed discrepancies to the floor of the vehicle.

CBP officers' meticulous inspection of the van resulted in the discovery of a man-made compartment within the floor of the Chrysler. "Misha," a narcotic detector dog, further alerted officers to the odor of narcotics emanating from the compartment. An intensive inspection of the Town and Country by CBP officers revealed three packages of narcotics. The three packages concealed a total of close to eight pounds of cocaine.

The cocaine from this seizure has an estimated street value of over $246,000. The driver was arrested by CBP officers and turned over to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents who investigated the seizure and processed the driver on federal drug charges.

"Brownsville CBP officers' vigilance and training continue to benefit the country. This interception keeps these dangerous narcotics off the streets of the Rio Grande Valley," said Michael Freeman, CBP port director, Brownsville.
