Customs agents seized about 152 pounds of liquid meth that was found in the gas tank of a vehicle trying to cross through the DeConcini port of entry in Nogales.

On April 23, a drug dog alerted to the Ford SUV and the vehicle was sent to a secondary inspection, according to a Customs and Border Protection news release.

Agents found the liquid meth in the SUV's gas tank. The drugs were worth about $457,000.

The 29-year-old driver and her 19-year-old passenger were arrested.

This was just one of several drug seizures at the Nogales Port of Entry from April 22 to April 25. More than 500 pounds of illegal drugs were seized and eight people were arrested in total, the CBP said.
