U.S. border officers seize drugs near Ambassador Bridge after wrong turn

A direction mix up has led to a drug seizure for an American citizen.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized marijuana and cocaine after a driver made a wrong turn near the Ambassador Bridge earlier this month.

CBP officials say the incident happened March 7, when officers encountered a vehicle near the duty-free area as the driver was heading toward Canada.

During an inspection, officers discovered and seized 566 grams of marijuana and just over 18 grams of cocaine.

According to AM800 News, authorities say the driver is a U.S. citizen.

No charges were laid in the case after local law enforcement declined to pursue it.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, officers have seized more than 800 pounds of drugs at Michigan ports of entry so far this fiscal year.
