\n

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered more than 16 pounds of fentanyl \u2013 with an estimated street value of nearly $240,000 \u2013 hidden inside an electric moped attempting to enter the U.S. at the southern border<\/a>, authorities said.<\/p>\n

CBP said a 22-year-old Mexican national<\/a> is facing federal charges following the seizure earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Officials said the man was driving a 2024 Revoo electric moped when he applied for admission into the United States on Aug. 3 and was referred for a secondary inspection.<\/p>\n

According to CBP, officers used a nonintrusive imaging system that detected anomalies beneath the rear of the moped.<\/p>\n

After a CBP canine alerted officers to the area, a physical inspection uncovered seven packages containing 16.53 pounds of white fentanyl powder<\/a> with an estimated street value of $238,032.<\/p>\n

“Smugglers are employing innovative tactics to smuggle lethal drugs into the country,” San Ysidro Port Director Mariza Marin said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Despite these challenges, officers remain vigilant while effectively utilizing their training, canine resources, and nonintrusive technology to thwart these smuggling attempts,” Marin added.<\/p>\n

CBP officers seized the fentanyl, moped, a GPS tracker and a cellphone.<\/p>\n

The driver was arrested and will face federal prosecution for narcotics importation<\/a>, officials said.<\/p>\n

The seizure comes after CBP officers stopped two separate vehicles and confiscated more than $300,000 worth of narcotics in a single day in May.<\/p>\n

Officers at the San Ysidro Port of Entry referred a 2013 Honda Civic for secondary inspection on May 17 after a scan detected anomalies in the vehicle’s firewall.<\/p>\n

Officials discovered six packages containing white fentanyl powder<\/a> worth an estimated $113,600, along with 8.4 pounds of cocaine<\/a> valued at approximately $161,600.<\/p>\n

That same day at the Calexico East Port of Entry, about 100 miles away, officers referred a 2011 Nissan Cube for secondary inspection.<\/p>\n

A scan detected anomalies in the vehicle’s flooring, where officers subsequently discovered 63 packages of methamphetamine<\/a>, according to CBP.<\/p>\n
