A Sahuarita woman was arrested Wednesday at a Nogales port of entry after an attempt to smuggle methamphetamine into Arizona, authorities said.
The 25-year-old woman was taken into custody at the Mariposa crossing when a drug-sniffing dog alerted to 33 pounds of meth in her car, authorities said in a news release.
The meth was valued at $100,000 and was found under the floor board of a Chevrolet sedan.
The drugs and vehicle were seized and the woman was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
On Tuesday, a Mexican teen was detained at the Dennis DeConcini pedestrian crossing when he was selected for further questioning, authorities said.
Officers found nearly 1.5 pounds of meth valued at $4,400. It was concealed within the groin area, said officials.
The teen was taken into custody and the meth was seized.
