A random inspection by U.S. Customs at the Port of Wilmington on Wednesdayresulted in narcotics seizures and three arrests.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), one arrest involved a man possessing a “distributable amount” of fentanyl-laced heroin. Officials also found and seized 62 grams of marijuana. The two men possessing that were not arrested, but were escorted from the Port.
Two port workers were also discovered to have outstanding Delaware arrest warrants, says CBP. State police took them into custody.
The raid was led by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in collaboration with several other agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Delaware State Police.
Casey Owen Durst, of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Field Operations, said in a statement that random inspections are done with “a singular goal in mind – to protect our nation and the citizens we serve.”
