TUCSON, Ariz. —Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to the Port of San Luis arrested a 60-year-old Mexican man Jan. 30 for trying to smuggle 26 packages of methamphetamine across the border inside the tires of his mountain bike.

CBP officers referred Martin Orduno-Gamez, of San Luis, Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico, for further inspection of the mountain bike he was riding and discovered 5.5 pounds of meth worth $16,500.

Officers seized the drugs and bike, and turned Orduno over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
