Arizona: Border Patrol seizes more than $5,000 in counterfeit currency

CBP.gov: CBP Officers at Lukeville Port Seize Counterfeit Currency.

TUCSON, Ariz. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of Lukeville arrested two Phoenix residents after seizing more than $5,000 in counterfeit currency.

Officers referred a 30-year-old woman and her 22-year-old male passenger last night, for further inspection of her Ford sedan. When searching the woman’s belongings, they found a small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and an envelope with a large volume of U.S. currency. A check of the funds determined it was counterfeit.

Customs and Border Protection officers seized the currency, and turned the subject over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

  1. Shit! We have enough problems with our own Gubberment devaluing our money without counterfeiters adding to the problem.
    Hang ’em at the border as a lesson to all who pass by.

    If you’re claiming it’s currently worth more than worthless, I’m calling fake news.
