Three women have been arrested in Arizona after attempting to enter the U.S. with nearly 13 pounds of cocaine in their undergarments.
According to border patrol officials, the women were stopped in Nogales with $134,000 of the illegal substance hidden in their underwear.
Officers stopped the women’s SUV after a U.S. Customs and Border Protection canine detected drugs in the vehicle.
The cocaine was seized by officers and the women were arrested on suspicion of attempting to smuggle narcotics into the country.
The women were all referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
