San Diego — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the San Ysidro border crossing early Monday morning found marijuana hidden in a cooler, traffic cones, and box of roofing shingles in the bed of a utility truck attempting to enter the United States.


On September 28, at about 2 a.m., a 43-year-old male U.S. citizen, and resident of San Fernando, Calif., driving a white Chevy utility truck attempted to enter the United States at the San Ysidro port of entry.

CBP officers referred the driver and truck for a more intensive inspection, and discovered anomalies in the truck’s cargo area after a gamma-ray screening. During a subsequent screening, a narcotic detector dog also alerted to the truck bed.


Officer discovered a total of 68 packages of marijuana hidden in various items lying in the truck bed. Officers found packages in a cooler; six tall, skinny, orange traffic cones; and six boxes of roofing shingles. The 168 pounds of marijuana are worth an estimated $100,000.
