United States Customs and Border Protection seized more than $1.5 million in cocaine and methamphetamine being trafficked into the United States from Mexico, authorities said.

"These harmful narcotics will not make it to American streets thanks to our CBP officers who used all available tools and resources to stop this smuggling attempt," Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas Port of Entry Director Carlos Rodriguez said.

"A CBP officer referred the vehicle for further inspection which included utilizing non-intrusive inspection equipment and screening by a [canine team]," the release read.
