50 wheels of contraband cheese seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers made an unusual discovery at a Texas border crossing last week — a woman was trying to enter the U.S. with 100 pounds of undeclared cheese.

A woman driving an SUV arrived at the Paso Del Norte border crossing in El Paso just before 7 a.m. on Sept. 6, according to a press release from CBP. She was from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and was entering Texas from Mexico.

The woman declared 10 wheels of cheese, but when officers inspected her car, they found an additional 50 wheels of undeclared cheese hidden "under blankets in the back row of the vehicle," CBP said. In total, the contraband cheese weighed about 100 pounds.
