CBP officers in San Diego closed out April with a spike in drug seizures, intercepting more than 7,570 pounds of narcotics in 106 separate incidents, according to figures released by the agency this week.

Most of the haul came in the form of meth — 4,413 pounds — followed by 2,748 pounds of cocaine, 404 pounds of fentanyl, and five pounds of heroin. Officials estimate the total street value at over $29 million.
