On December 23 at about 3:30 p.m., CBP officers were screening traffic going into Mexico as part of a southbound operation. The officers selected a 2003 Honda Accord being driven by a 34-year-old man from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
Further inspection revealed that the man was attempting to smuggle nearly $17,000 out of United States. The CBP officers found the illegal currency concealed in the man’s briefcase and the glove-compartment of the vehicle he was driving.
CBP officers seized the illegal currency. The man was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for further questioning.
