U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers made a significant drug bust on Monday at the Idaho International Bridge, seizing 208 pounds of cocaine and over $22,000 in illicit cash. The discovery was made after officers searched a commercial passenger bus traveling from Mexico into the United States.

Authorities uncovered a total of 80 bundles of cocaine hidden inside the bus. The drug haul, valued at more than $2.7 million on the street, was well-concealed within the vehicle. The passengers, as well as the bus driver, were arrested, and both individuals face charges related to drug trafficking and the illegal transportation of money.
