Border Patrol canine sniffs out $60G worth of fentanyl hidden inside burritos

A Border Patrol canine on Monday sniffed out packages of fentanyl pills that had been hidden inside burritos at an immigration checkpoint in Arizona.

The handler referred the male driver of the vehicle to the checkpoint’s secondary inspection where the canine alerted to a black backpack inside the vehicle. Agents searched the backpack and discovered several small packages with fentanyl pills that had been stuffed inside breakfast burritos, CBP said. They also found two cellphones and $6,200. The fentanyl packages had a combined weight of just over five pounds with an approximate street value of $60,000, according to the agency.
