Cocaine seized at Detroit’s Ambassador BridgeCustoms and Border ProtectionU.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Office of Field Operations recently intercepted 339 pounds of cocaine near the Ambassador Bridge port of entry in Detroit. 

A Canada-bound tractor-trailer was selected for examination and a subsequent physical inspection conducted by officers revealed bricks of a white powdery substance concealed within two duffel bags and four moving boxes. The illicit cargo was confirmed to be cocaine through subsequent testing.

The cocaine was seized, along with the truck and trailer. The driver, an Indian citizen, faces federal prosecution.

The case remains under investigation by ICE Homeland Security Investigations.

More than 1,500 pounds of cocaine has been seized by CBP Field Operations at Michigan ports of entry during Fiscal Year 2025.

“Our ports of entry are not throughfares for illegal drugs and we will continue to hold the line against transnational criminal activity,” said Acting Port Director David Beculheimer.
