The border patrol near San Diego has caught the vehicle with smuggled cash worth $3 million who is entering into the Mexico from California

Currency smuggling and money laundering are the lifeblood for the Mexican suppliers moving the majority of heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine across the US border as well as for human traffickers.

Border Patrol agents in California hit a huge amount this week in terms of cash seizures: $3 million.

For the agency that deals with border security, it was a major stop for smuggled cash. The Border Patrol noted most of its past seizures have been in smaller amounts

The San Diego Border Patrol agents made a dent in the cash flow when they arrested two men in Escondido, just north of San Diego and about 40 miles from the Mexican border.

An agent pulled over a Kia Forte and found nearly $34,000 stashed in the console, the agency said. A 53-year-old American was arrested.

Other agents were able to locate a Volkswagen Passat suspected of having driven in tandem with the Kia, the agency said. They arrested the driver, a 41-year-old Mexican national, for suspicion of currency smuggling.

The trunk of the Passat is where they then recovered $3,018,000, the agency said. The Border Patrol turned over the two suspects to Homeland Security, and they now face federal charges for currency smuggling.
