Blaine Sector Border Patrol agents found multiple duffel bags stuffed with methamphetamine in a neighborhood near the U.S.-Canada boundary.
Agents determined the packages contained a crystalline substance that later tested positive for methamphetamine. In total, the agents found 445 pounds of the illicit substance, officials reported.
The street value of the methamphetamine load is estimated to be in excess of $1.7 million, officials reported. “Vigilant and steadfast, Blaine Sector Border Patrol agents secure and protect our nation from those who wish to do us harm,” Chief BeMiller said in a written statement. “This seizure is an excellent example of their commitment to this honorable mission by taking nearly 450 pounds of methamphetamine off the streets.”
Late last month, Blaine Sector agents also rescued a migrant mother and two children attempting to illegally cross the border from Canada, BeMiller tweeted. Blaine Sector Border Patrol agents found and rescued a mother and her two children who became lost while attempting to illegally cross into the United States. Border Patrol Agent EMT’s provided aid on an injured ankle and assisted the family out of the remote area.
