Border Patrol Nabs Granny and Granddaughter With 200 Pounds of Meth

Authorities arrested a 65-year-old woman and her 19-year-old granddaughter at the California-Mexico border on Sunday.

While they were waiting to return to the United States from Mexico, dogs that were walking through the lanes of traffic sniffed something, and the pair were pulled over for a closer examination.

Authorities found 219 pounds of meth in the door and roof panels worth an estimated $416,000.

Both women are American citizens, but the report did not say if they were American by birth or by naturalization.

They were arrested on the spot and were awaiting a bail hearing.

They are currently being held by Homeland Security.

Two other arrests were made at the border.

One man entered the same day that the pair was picked up for drugs. He is a  Mexican citizen named Adan Larios, who had an active felony warrant for sex crimes with a minor in Riverside, California.

The next day they picked up Eduardo Aguilar, a U.S. citizen, who was wanted on a homicide warrant out of Denver.

Both men are awaiting extradition.

From The Blaze:

Authorities arrested the two, who were driving a 2006 Dodge Durango, at Andrade Port of Entry near San Diego.

A release from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed that a canine team, which was roving through vehicle lanes at the port of entry, sniffed something suspicious at the vehicle’s passenger side door. Authorities stopped the vehicle and executed a search. The search uncovered 299 packages of methamphetamine, which weighed approximately 219 pounds. Drugs were recovered from the car’s roof, doors, and quarter panels.

The release said the monetary value of the meth was at least $416,000.

Authorities turned the unnamed women over to Homeland Security investigation agents for questioning and processing.
