Indio, Calif. – On January 14, El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents working the Highway 86 checkpoint seized more than 135 pounds of marijuana valued at more than $110,000.

At approximately 3 p.m., a silver colored mini-van approached the primary inspection area at the Highway 86 checkpoint which is operated by Indio Station agents. The vehicle was referred to the secondary inspection.

While in secondary, a Border Patrol canine team conducted a cursory inspection of the vehicle. The canine team alerted to the trunk of the vehicle. In addition, a non-intrusive inspection of the vehicle using a large scale imaging system was conducted and an anomaly was discovered in the floor of the vehicle. A physical search of that area revealed 132 vacuum sealed bags containing a green leafy substance that tested positive for the properties of marijuana.
