U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, Texas, last week seized nearly $500,000 in cocaine hidden within a tractor trailer hauling cotton candy.
The World Trade Bridge is a U.S.-Mexico border crossing that connects the city of Laredo, Texas, with Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, over the Rio Grande.
