SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — U.S. Border Patrol agents say they’ve seized more than 22 pounds of methamphetamine a man was smuggling in the body of a minivan in Orange County.
Customs spokesman Jerry Conlin said Friday that agents and a drug-sniffing dog discovered about $445,000 worth of the drug after searching a vehicle being driven by a 34-year-old man in San Clemente.
The drug was hidden inside the front bumper and frame rails of a 1995 Toyota Previa, which was pulled over at about 9:30 a.m. on Interstate 5.
