Unopened packages of ammunition totaling 2,000 rounds were seized over the weekend at the Port of San Luis, by CBP officers.

Officers arrested Adrian Salazar-Meza, 23, after an outbound inspection of her Nissan SUV on June 6 led to the discovery of 2,000 rounds of ammunition under one of the vehicle’s rear seats.

Officers seized the ammunition and vehicle, and referred Salazar to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

This is the second ammunition seizure in just more than a week. On May 30, officers at the San Luis Port seized 1,450 rounds of assorted ammunition concealed within the quarter panels of an SUV headed for Mexico.
