$1.4M of Crystal Meth Seized at Ariz. Border

DOUGLAS, Arizona (CBS/AP) More that than 30 pounds of crystal meth with a street value of over $1.4 million was seized at the Arizona-Mexico border, according to border authorities.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers say they stopped a pickup truck at the Douglas Port of Entry last Friday.

An inspection led to the discovery of several packages of crystal meth concealed inside a compartment built into the firewall behind the truck's back seat.

They say the driver of the truck was an 18-year-old man who's an American citizen but a resident of Hermosillo, Sonora. The unidentified suspect was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for prosecution.
