A vehicle stop by U.S. Border Patrol agents on Tuesday afternoon, July 11, led to the arrest of a 45-year-old man and the seizure of narcotics valued at more than half a million dollars.

At approximately 1 p.m. yesterday, agents conducted a vehicle stop on the driver of a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox near Basilone Road on Interstate 5.  As agents interviewed the driver, a Border Patrol K-9 alerted to the man’s SUV. Agents searched and discovered 41 bundles of assorted narcotics hidden inside the vehicle door panels.

An inventory of the bundles revealed 28.66 pounds of heroin, 4.96 pounds of cocaine, and 24.91 pounds of methamphetamine.  The total estimated street value was $560,334.

The man and the narcotics were turned over to a task force headed by the Drug Enforcement Administration.  The vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.
