Authorities say they caught the mother-daughter duo in California, smuggling over $830,000 in methamphetamine.
CALIFORNIAA drug smuggling mother and daughter were arrested by Border Patrol agents this week after allegedly getting caught with over $830,000 in methamphetamine in California.
A K-9 unit detected drugs in one of the vehicles and after a search, agents found five large duffel bags in the rear seats. Inside the bags were numerous smaller bundles wrapped in cellophane, a trend authorities say is commonly seen in narcotics smuggling. "Monetary proceeds from smuggling activities is illegal, and the Border Patrol takes such crimes seriously as this seizure from our Indio Station clearly outlines," said El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino. "Smugglers learn the hard way in El Centro time and again that we will find, arrest, and pursue prosecution, often with law enforcement partners and the U.S. Attorney's Office, to the maximum extent possible.
