Laredo, Texas: Authorities Seize Over US$75M in Meth At Border Crossing

"El Choclo" for Borderland Beat

Boxes containing 3,740 pounds of methamphetamine seized by officers at Colombia-Solidarity Bridge. The Northeast Cartel (Cartel del Noreste, CDN) is based in the Nuevo Laredo area.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers seized hard narcotics in four separate, unrelated incidents that totaled over $75,000,000 in street value.

“Our frontline officers continue to maintain their vigilance as the summer wears on and their effective application of interview experience and utilization of inspections technology resulted in four significant seizures of hard narcotics loads in both the passenger and commercial vehicle environments,” said Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry.

The first enforcement action occurred on July 14th at the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge, after CBP officers encountered an empty refrigerated trailer arriving from Mexico. The 2010 Freightliner was referred for a canine and non-intrusive imaging system inspection, resulting in the discovery of 3,740.36 pounds of alleged methamphetamine within the trailer. The narcotics had an estimated street value of $74,806,487.

The second seizure occurred on July 14th at the World Trade Bridge, after CBP officers assigned to the cargo facility processed a daily express consignment truck with a shipment manifesting a toy car arriving from Mexico. The 2015 Freightliner and shipment were referred for a canine and non-intrusive imaging system inspection, resulting in the discovery of 5.68 pounds of alleged brown heroin within the shipment. The narcotics combined had an estimated street value of $129,000.

The third enforcement action occurred on July 15th at the Juarez-Lincoln Bridge, after a CBP officer referred a 2017 Toyota Hiace arriving from Mexico for a secondary inspection. Following a canine and non-intrusive imaging system inspection, CBP officers discovered a total of 17 packages containing 37.61 pounds of alleged cocaine within the vehicle. The narcotics had an estimated street value of $291,720.

The fourth enforcement action occurred on July 15th at the World Trade Bridge, after CBP officers encountered a truck hauling a shipment of leather seats arriving from Mexico. The 2019 Ford F-350 and shipment were referred for a canine and non-intrusive imaging system inspection, resulting in the discovery of 14 packages containing 38 pounds of alleged marijuana within the shipment. The narcotics had an estimated street value of $7,760.

The four interceptions have a combined street value of $75,234,967.

CBP seized the narcotics, the van and one trailer in connection with the alleged smuggling attempts. The cases were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) special agents for further investigation.

    3. I think the Treviños are letting several organizations pass their product through Nvo Laredo.

      Their connections are usually prison gang members from Dallas, San Antonio & Houston .

    5. Bro cdn is loosing a lot of shipments a lot meth busts and coke busts in the last few years. Cdn does have a great plaza but their weak as fuck. Theyre a shadow of what they used to be under z40 and even less when lazcano was alive. When cdg controlled nuevo laredo they were moving coke by the ton. Now is like 10 keys here 15 keys there.

    6. Bro just look at the size of that shipment and the trevinos are still running cdn think how much money 40 and the others had back in the day they do have money and cdn. Have got a lot of good territory not just Nuevo Laredo they probably have most of Monterrey and they have Coahuila cdg is on the decline on the other hand

    7. Yep, CDN is expanding even though they continue to take hits (e.g. Canelo, Viejito, Takia). They're close to taking control of Miguel Aleman, a stones throw away from Reynosa.

    10. You’re so naive you think just because it was seized at a Laredo port that’s it CDN. How uninformed and uneducated you are.

  2. That’s about 20k a pound. I don’t know the actual prices but I will assume that right now it goes between 9 to 15k a pound.

    2. Lbs of mexican bud is around 300 a lb once it crosses into laredo. Cbp prices are way overpriced because they assume price at street level by the gram. And to make themselves look good.

  3. Just because CDN owns that plaza does not mean that it’s CDN load.

    Chapos and CU have an alliance with the Treviños…

    2. I'm sincerely curious, why couldn't another group bring loads through? How would CDN know that another group moved 100lbs of meth through? I mean, it's just another truck passing through a border? Perhaps not the talked about huge haul but smaller loads? I admit I'm missing something here, is it just word of mouth informers? Guys, help me out here. MS.h

    8. These children regardless of age that’s what they act like, get on here and turn into internet Einstein’s and experts on private business. Ignore them they don’t exist.

    9. NONE of us know what is going on, even the cogs in the wheel. ONLY 'few' in the corporation(s) even know what's going on. All we can do is form an educated guess despite being frequently wrong. Saying that, I need to say that even though we don't know, personally I love hearing other people's opinions or perspective on this and other, albeit stupid, questions I ask. There are zero experts, no crystal ball just opinions. These are topics I enjoy learning more about, despite being somebody who has literally been ' touched' by the corporation.🔪😂
      Always, thank you for any input. Yours, MS.h

    3. Technically mexican bud is what was called middies.Midgrade bud. And it sells all over the states. Because not every one wants to pay 20 bucks a gram for so called "hydro" which is not real hydro 90% of the time is just good bud grown in dirt and incredibly overpriced. Mexican weed is the bread and butter or mexican cartels still.

    4. @335, I read the same years ago. True or not? It has been said that weed was the most stable consistent money maker for groups. Granted blow was great for business, but weed to States was bulk of income.
      I find the increase of economic diversification occurring past few years really interesting. Academic sounding MS. H (self admittedly, gringo on a couch stateside)

  14. Those 75 millions are street value, whose ever merca it was probably sold it for about 10 to 15 millions, you have to flip it to make a buck, thats how it works
