CBP officers at San Diego International Airport concluded October with significant seizures of drugs and weapons. In several separate incidents, officers confiscated 391 pounds of marijuana, one AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle, one semi-automatic pistol, 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and high-capacity magazines for both pistols and rifles. These items were intercepted while bound for international destinations.

All suspects involved in these incidents were arrested and handed over to Homeland Security Investigations for further examination. The narcotics, firearms, and ammunition were taken into custody by CBP officers.

Mariza Marin, Area Port Director for the San Ysidro Port of Entry overseeing airport operations, stated: “The results of these enforcement operations at the San Diego International Airport illustrate our commitment to safeguarding communities and the traveling public.” She praised the officers for their "exemplary hard work and dedication."
