News / CBP Officers Seize Marijuana Valued at $106,000 at Rio Grande City, Hidalgo International Bridges

Hidalgo/Rio Grande City, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the Hidalgo/Reynosa and Rio Grande City International Bridges seized 133 pounds of marijuana in two separate and unrelated enforcement actions. The combined estimated street value of the two drug loads is $106,000.


On October 11, CBP officers working at the Hidalgo/Reynosa International Bridge came in contact with a northbound 1997 Chevrolet Lumina sedan. At primary, officers noticed discrepancies to the vehicle’s trunk area. A CBP officer referred the vehicle and male driver to secondary for an intensive examination. While in secondary, the vehicle was further referred for a non-intrusive image scan.

X-ray images revealed anomalies within the Lumina’s backseat area. While conducting an intensive examination of the vehicle, officers removed 31 marijuana packages that were found hidden in the backseat. The driver, identified as Marcos Sanchez Martinez, a Mexican citizen, age 25 from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico was arrested on federal drug charges and was later transferred to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents who continue to investigate this failed smuggling attempt. Pending appearance before a U.S. Magistrate, Sanchez Martinez remains incarcerated.
