With the packages singled out for
0:02
inspection,
0:05
Officer Cisneros proceeds with caution.
0:08
>> [music]
0:12
>> We don't know what the boxes are. We
0:14
don't know if we can get contaminated.
0:17
And we have here
0:29
>> In San Francisco,
0:31
>> Put my dolly right here. I need to ask
0:33
this passenger where he's going to go
0:34
now.
0:34
>> How you doing, man?
0:35
>> Nice to meet you, man.
0:36
>> Good. Good. Good.
0:37
We're going to do a quick check on you,
0:38
okay? You have anything [music] to
0:39
declare on you?
0:41
>> No.
0:41
>> No. Any Any prohibited items that we
0:43
should know about?
0:44
>> No.
0:44
>> Any check-in bags?
0:46
>> No, sir.
0:47
>> All right. All right. Just follow us,
0:48
all right?
0:49
>> Officers have detained a man they
0:51
suspect [music] is a drug smuggler.
0:52
>> Can I have a boarding pass inside?
0:54
>> They need to confirm the bag is his.
0:57
>> Is this your bag?
0:59
>> No.
1:00
>> No. Can you do me a favor? Take off that
1:01
bag and remove your jacket.
1:05
>> The suspect is denying the bag is his,
1:08
but the baggage tag tells a different
1:10
story.
1:12
>> It's not my bag.
1:13
>> It's your bag. Yeah, has your name on
1:14
it.
1:16
>> Despite all the evidence, the man is
1:18
playing dumb.
1:20
>> We are with US Customs and Border
1:21
Protection. All right. We encountered
1:23
something that could be possible
1:25
narcotics in your bag.
1:26
So, we're going to go ahead and do a
1:27
quick inspection and test what that
1:29
possible narcotics is.
1:31
Are you aware of what's inside?
1:33
You packed that bag yourself?
1:34
>> No.
1:35
>> Who packed it?
1:36
>> I packed
1:37
>> Huh?
1:37
>> I packed it.
1:38
>> I asked you who packed the bag.
1:39
>> Don't know.
1:40
>> Still denying that the bag is his.
1:42
>> I did a check-in.
1:43
>> He did a check-in. [music] And was this
1:44
bag your personal now?
1:46
>> No.
1:47
>> The officers begin their search.
1:49
>> All right. Stand right here. Against the
1:51
wall.
1:53
Check it.
1:57
>> Officers immediately notice the
1:59
overpowering smell of a large amount of
2:01
weed.
2:04
>> All right. Let's see.
2:12
What's this?
2:14
>> It doesn't take them long to find
2:16
several vacuum packed bags.
2:19
>> Face the wall, spread your feet out.
2:25
Anything on you?
2:29
>> Officers now need to open the bags to
2:31
confirm their suspicions.
2:35
>> So for safety,
2:37
what is this?
2:38
I don't want to open something that's
2:39
going to be exposing all of us.
2:42
>> Don't know.
2:44
>> Most couriers are recruited by organized
2:46
gangs because they have no previous
2:48
convictions.
2:52
>> Huh?
2:54
See. 1 2 3
2:56
4
2:57
5 6 7
2:59
>> 7 7 7
3:00
>> 6 7
3:03
>> They are normally given locked suitcases
3:05
and [music] have no idea what is inside.
3:07
>> Smells like marijuana. So
3:10
>> green leafy substance.
3:14
>> They are often individuals with
3:15
difficult financial or personal
3:17
circumstances.
3:20
>> Got a [music] test kit?
3:32
>> This is pink.
3:34
So it's showing [music] positive for
3:35
marijuana.
3:39
>> You request a offload for the subject.
3:40
[music] Yes, positive for narcotics.
3:43
Controlled substance.
3:48
>> All right.
3:49
So you're going to come with us. You're
3:50
under arrest for the exportation of
3:52
narcotics, right?
3:58
>> Officers take the suspect through
4:00
customs and back onto US soil
4:03
to continue to process him.
4:08
Despite the fact that marijuana is legal
4:11
in California,
4:12
crossing the border with it is a federal
4:14
offense.
4:16
>> He's leaving the country, so he's
4:17
exporting controlled substances,
4:20
and that's federally legal.
4:22
>> He's looking at a long jail sentence.
4:25
>> Final destination's to London,
4:27
but he's going to miss his flight for
4:29
sure.
4:31
>> You okay?
4:33
Hello.
4:35
>> [music]
4:37
>> Want some water?
4:39
>> A man has been detained for smuggling a
4:41
large amount of marijuana in his checked
4:43
[music] luggage.
4:46
The realization of what he has done is
4:48
finally hitting home.
4:51
>> You have to talk to us.
4:54
>> Hey, what's the subject saying to me
4:55
something?
4:56
>> Subject [music] was saying that
4:58
he didn't know how it got in there,
5:00
doesn't know if it's his bags or not, so
5:01
he's a bit confused right now, so we got
5:04
to figure it out. We're going to have to
5:05
contact Homeland Security Investigations
5:07
to [music]
5:09
investigate what's going on.
5:11
>> Some water if you need it.
5:14
>> Homeland Security Investigations will
5:16
take over the case to find out how he is
5:18
connected to any larger criminal
5:20
network.
5:24
Prices in the UK, where marijuana is
5:26
illegal and where the drugs were
5:28
destined, are four times higher than in
5:30
the US.
5:32
>> We're going to check each bag to make
5:34
sure that they're all marijuana.
5:38
Last one.
5:50
>> It's pink. Positive for marijuana, THC.
5:55
>> In 2024,
5:57
15 tons of marijuana were seized at UK
6:00
airports, triple from the year before.
6:03
The vast majority of it from the US.
6:06
>> So, next step is for us since all of
6:08
these tested positive, we're going to go
6:10
ahead and weigh it. We're going to
6:11
calibrate our machine to make sure
6:13
everything's legit.
6:15
>> The suspect thought he could make a
6:16
quick buck, and he is not alone.
6:27
>> So, total weight was 3.79 kg, which is
6:30
approximately around [music] 8 lb.
6:33
>> But, instead of making almost $50,000,
6:36
this man is facing a minimum of 5 years
6:38
in a federal prison.
6:40
>> Unfortunately, he has to pay the price.
6:43
>> Officers may have stopped one person
6:45
from exporting cannabis, but the chances
6:47
are [music] he won't be the last one
6:49
today.
6:51
>> This is the beginning of our shift, so
6:53
we got one down. We got to go out there.
6:55
We got 10 more flights to do.
6:57
You never know what SFO is going to
6:58
bring.
7:02
>> Early morning at JFK in Queens, New
7:05
York,
7:06
one of the busiest airports in North
7:08
America.
7:09
>> Can I see your passport, please?
7:10
>> Sure.
7:12
>> And the main cargo hub for the
7:14
northeastern US,
7:16
>> Officer, my screen is good to go.
7:18
>> Cool. Let's run the rest.
7:21
>> More than 1 and 1/2 million tons of
7:23
freight passes through here each year.
7:26
>> Concealment methods are ever-evolving.
7:29
It's just a cat and mouse game, really.
7:33
>> Former Marine Officer Vincent and his
7:35
team are the first line of defense
7:38
against contraband entering the [music]
7:39
country.
7:41
>> I wish we could find drugs every day.
7:43
Unfortunately, uh
7:45
that's not how it works.
7:47
>> Today, Officer Vincent has received
7:50
intel that a shipment from China
7:52
contains illegal products.
7:56
>> We're going to run this shipment
7:57
completely and make sure that the
8:00
contents inside of the boxes is
8:01
legitimate and doesn't contain any
8:04
narcotics or contraband.
8:07
>> The description on the manifest is
8:08
vague, and that's a red flag.
8:12
>> It's a generic description of the
8:14
shipment. It doesn't really identify
8:16
what's inside of the box.
8:19
>> The team's mobile X-ray unit can handle
8:22
packages weighing up to 55 lb.
8:26
>> All right, we're going to run the rest.
8:28
>> It scans hundreds of packages an hour.
8:34
>> Could be organic, right?
8:37
>> It doesn't take long for them to spot a
8:39
suspicious shape hidden inside one of
8:41
the boxes.
8:43
>> Should be at the top. This right here.
8:45
This one over here.
8:47
Yeah, anything that's a form of
8:48
concealment.
8:54
Just always double-check, you know, make
8:56
sure it's good to go.
8:59
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
9:05
Yeah, little Dino seems to be good.
9:08
>> It's not the kind of monster haul
9:10
Officer Vincent was hoping for.
9:12
>> You you really don't know what's inside
9:14
of the box unless you open it and
9:15
actually physically inspect it, right?
9:23
>> The next few boxes don't raise any
9:25
alarms.
9:28
>> Looks like there's an anomaly in there.
9:30
>> But then,
9:31
Officer Vincent spots a dark patch,
9:34
which indicates a densely packed item.
9:37
>> It doesn't look like the regular box, I
9:39
can tell you that.
9:42
Let's take a look.
9:44
>> Each parcel conceals several sealed
9:47
boxes.
9:49
>> This is an interesting package.
9:53
It's got some weight to it, too.
9:59
Oh, yeah, we got powder.
10:01
>> It's unclear what the powder is.
10:03
>> Yo, you got a mask in there?
10:05
>> So, Officer Vincent treats it as a
10:08
potential threat.
10:09
>> Want to keep everybody around you safe,
10:11
your yourself safe, you know.
10:13
I want to go home at the end of the day.
10:19
>> The mystery powder has been packed in
10:21
air-sealed plastic and aluminum bags to
10:23
evade detection from the canine.
10:25
>> best box.
10:28
Let's see. We see some residual powder
10:30
in here.
10:34
>> [music]
10:35
>> They all seem to have the same
10:37
off-whiteish
10:44
This is our Gemini.
10:46
It works on a spectrum level, and we're
10:49
able to
10:50
identify the substance as long as it's
10:52
in the library of
10:56
What do we have? So, we have a positive
10:58
result for MDMB and Naka.
11:02
>> MDMB and Naka is a synthetic narcotic
11:05
known as a precursor cannabinoid and is
11:08
used in the manufacture of illegal
11:10
designer drugs such as spice. It mimics
11:13
the effects of natural cannabis, [music]
11:15
but is more potent and dangerous.
11:18
>> And we've come across it quite
11:20
frequently within the past like [music]
11:22
2 to 3 years, so it's definitely up and
11:24
coming.
11:28
>> Consumption can cause seizures and
11:31
death.
11:33
>> So, particular chemical has been linked
11:35
to overdose deaths in the past, so
11:37
definitely want to try to keep this
11:38
stuff off the streets.
11:41
>> Smugglers are increasingly [music] using
11:43
smaller parcels to traffic goods to help
11:46
minimize losses if one shipment is
11:48
intercepted.
11:54
>> So, we got a total of 4.04 kg of
11:58
MMB-MANACA. [music]
12:01
>> This seized shipment has a likely street
12:03
value of around $12,000.
12:06
JFK Airport is the biggest international
12:09
mail facility in the US.
12:12
As a gateway to North America, it
12:15
handles a million packages every day.
12:19
>> All right, Jeff, do you want to run that
12:20
one more time?
12:23
>> Keeping Customs and Border Protection
12:25
officers on high alert for smuggled
12:28
contraband.
12:29
>> When I start working here, I realized
12:31
that we are the first and the last
12:34
line of defense.
12:36
>> Sir, baggage.
12:37
>> Have a look.
12:38
>> All right.
12:39
>> Every seizure that we have, every drug
12:42
that we stop, every firearm that we
12:44
stop, [music] the satisfaction becomes
12:47
not because we get paid, but it's
12:49
because the life, the countless life
12:51
that we are saving [music] here in the
12:53
United States.
12:55
>> Today,
12:57
Officer Cisneros is on the lookout for
12:59
shipments of a black market
13:00
pharmaceutical arriving from the UK.
13:05
>> So, let's go and find out what we have.
13:06
What will be the catch of today?
13:21
This seems to be a vacuum [music]
13:24
cleaner.
13:25
Nothing here
13:28
makes me believe that there's anything
13:29
hiding. You can see the
13:32
inside of the machine, which is very
13:34
clear, everything
13:36
is transparent.
13:39
>> They keep an eye out
13:44
>> [music]
13:48
>> Can you smell bags
13:51
>> for any illicit [music] packages hidden
13:52
among them?
13:55
>> If something wrong with this box, it
13:56
doesn't give me a clear picture [music]
13:59
of what it is.
14:09
Okay, do me a favor. I want that to put
14:11
on the side, please.
14:12
Yeah, that going to be inspected. That's
14:14
kind of
14:15
different from the rest of it.
14:17
>> [music]
14:19
>> A second package also raises suspicions.
14:23
Both have been shipped from the UK.
14:26
>> We're just going to send it back again
14:30
because it doesn't look good at all.
14:34
Okay, so just put that one on the side
14:36
for me, please.
14:38
>> With the packages singled out for
14:40
inspection,
14:42
Officer Cisneros proceeds with caution.
14:44
[music]
14:49
>> We don't know what the boxes are. We
14:51
don't know if we going to get
14:52
contaminated. [music]
14:54
And we have here
15:01
white powder.
15:04
I going to gear up, have a mask, and
15:06
change my gloves, and try to test it. I
15:09
don't take anything for granted. Might
15:10
be fentanyl. I don't know what it is.
15:14
>> A testing device uses laser technology
15:17
to identify the substance inside the
15:19
first package.
15:22
>> Okay, see that this [music]
15:26
plastic is very thick.
15:28
Let's see what we have here.
15:31
>> [music]
15:33
>> Okay, we are analyzing, so we're going
15:34
to close the X.
15:40
Ketamine, we have a hit.
15:42
>> Ketamine is a medical anesthetic,
15:45
a Schedule III controlled substance.
15:48
Cheaper than cocaine, it's increasingly
15:51
being abused as a recreational drug.
15:54
Causing intense disorientation, users
15:57
are often left highly vulnerable.
16:01
>> People use these drugs to rape
16:04
victims, [music]
16:05
to take the money out of the victims,
16:07
but the very next day, the person who
16:10
is being given this drug has no
16:12
conscious of what happened.
16:15
Okay, I got the second one here. This is
16:18
sealed.
16:24
You have a envelope,
16:26
and then you have a CD or DVD.
16:30
It doesn't make sense.
16:33
Well, and you also have
16:36
the white substance which is wrapped
16:38
the same as the other one.
16:40
Again, it might be ketamine. I don't
16:42
know what it is, so I'm going to test
16:43
that again.
16:46
Now we need to scan this.
16:52
Okay, we're analyzing now.
16:59
Bingo, ketamine.
17:01
Hopefully, you know, within 24 hours,
17:04
we're going to have agents looking at
17:06
this, see if they
17:08
the person have prior records, so they
17:10
can be arrested,
17:12
and we take it from there.
17:13
>> Since both shipments have come from the
17:15
UK,
17:16
Homeland Security Investigations will
17:18
notify the British police.
17:22
If they track down the sender,
17:24
>> [music]
17:24
>> they could face a long prison sentence.
17:27
>> Well, that's 1.65 kg.
17:36
And let's see what we have. This one
17:37
over here, the small ones.
17:42
Equal.
17:45
>> [music]
17:46
>> That is 61.9, a little bit half.
17:50
A kilo, we'll say. Okay.
17:52
That's it.
17:53
>> That's 2 kilos of dangerous ketamine
17:56
powder worth over $200,000
18:00
that has been stopped from getting onto
18:02
the streets of New York.
