Border Patrol agents arrested a woman driving with 51 pounds of meth in Indio, marking a significant drug smuggling bust valued at over $83,000. The 28-year-old woman was apprehended on Interstate 10 with the illicit substances hidden in her vehicle’s quarter panels. The discovery was made possible by a K-9 team’s alert during a routine traffic stop. Additionally, a child was present in the car at the time of the arrest. Following the seizure, U.S. Customs and Border Protection handed over the suspect, along with the drugs and vehicle, to local law enforcement for further investigation. The child was safely released into the custody of their grandfather. This incident was part of Operation Apollo, a focused effort to combat drug trafficking, particularly involving fentanyl, in the region.
