Customs and Border Protection agents seize more than a million dollars worth of meth from being smuggled into the country.

It happened on Tuesday at the Lincoln-Juarez Bridge when agents referred a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban driven by a 33-year-old woman from Mexico in for secondary inspection.

It was there that they found close to 90 pounds of liquid meth stored in 44 beverage bottles.

The liquid meth had an estimated value of $1.3 million.

Agents seized the drugs and vehicle.

The driver was arrested and turned over to homeland security for further investigation.
