Columbus, New Mexico – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the Columbus, N.M. port of entry seized 5.3 pounds of marijuana Thursday morning. The drugs were hidden in a backpack being carried by a 14-year-old girl.

The seizure was made just before 7 a.m. when the juvenile entered the port from Mexico as a pedestrian. CBP officers selected the girl for a secondary exam and while searching her backpack they spotted several rectangular packages.

Officers removed a total of five packages from the backpack. The contents of the packages tested positive for marijuana. The juvenile drug smuggler, a U.S. citizen originally from Surprise, Ariz., was remanded for prosecution.
