U.S. Customs and Border Protection
EL PASO, Texas —
During the Presidents Day holiday weekend, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than 700 pounds in 12 seizures.
On Sunday, a 1996 GMC Sierra pickup arrived from Mexico at the Ysleta international crossing at the El Paso port of entry.
CBP officers noticed objects in the fuel tank and in the back seat area during an Xray exam of the vehicle.
CBP officers discovered 44 marijuana-filled bundles in the rear cab of the truck and large metal boxes with marijuana in the gas tank.
Isaac Gutierrez Estevane of Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico was taken into custody.
He was turned over to and arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement HSI agents in connection with the failed smuggling attempt. He is currently detained at the El Paso County jail with no bond.
