An Albuquerque woman has been fined for attempting to smuggle wheels of cheese through the Paso Del Norte border crossing in El Paso, Texas.
On Sept. 6, the woman arrived at the border crossing in a car from Mexico at around 7:00 a.m. The woman declared that she was bringing in 10 wheels of cheese to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the border. However, after the officer checked the car, additional 50 wheels of cheese were discovered in the back row, with each wheel weighing around a kilo (2.2 lbs).
