U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers found nearly 290 pounds of heroin concealed in a pick up truck at the San Ysidro Port of Entry on October 22, 2025.

A non-invasive inspection showed anomalies in the spare tire well, rear seat, right front fender flare, and firewall of the vehicle. Officers removed 72 packages of heroin from the various locations. The packages had a combined weight of nearly 290 pounds with a street value of more than $13 million. The driver, a lawful permanent resident, was arrested.
