  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Cash Smuggling | National GeographicIn a routine shift at the border, a family arrives in a white SUV. The family consists of a husband, wife, and their three children. Their reason for crossing is simple: they are here to do some back-to-school shopping. At first glance, their story seems legitimate. However, a keen-eyed supervisor named Armandara and her team start to notice something peculiar - suspicious scratches on the truck and signs of tampering on the windshield wipers. Sensing something amiss, Officer Joshua Rodriguez takes over the investigation.Rodriguez is intrigued by the tiny details that others might overlook. He mentions that it is unusual for a brand new car to have tool marks and scratches. It is the small things like these that pique his curiosity, like detective work, urging him to dig deeper. His suspicions grow when he notices that the air vent is covered up and sees fresh marks on the windshield wipers. It is clear that something is deliberately hidden within the vehicle.With each new discovery, Rodriguez becomes more determined. He follows the trail and ultimately uncovers a hidden compartment running along the wall of the SUV. Removing an access panel, he uncovers a stash of cash suspected to be linked to a cartel. The money, neatly wrapped in duct tape, is an obvious sign of illegal activity.As Rodriguez continues his search, he notes that each cartel has its own distinctive markings on the cash bundles, allowing them to track where it came from and where it is going. The officer estimates the value of the seized cash, hoping for a significant amount, possibly around $400,000. Nevertheless, the exact sum depends on the denominations of the bills.Overall, this real-life scenario at the border serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against cash smuggling. It highlights the diligent work of officers like Rodriguez, who remain vigilant and pay attention to even the smallest details. Through their efforts, they strive to disrupt the flow of illegal funds and dismantle criminal networks.
  • Subtitles section
  • An hour into Armandara's shift, a family pulls up in a white SUV.
  • It was a husband and wife and their three kids.
  • She just came to do some shopping for school supplies.
  • The family's story seems to check out.
  • Then Armandara's and her team spot suspicious scratches on the truck.
  • Noticed a discrepancy, and there was tampering on the windshield wipers.
  • As a supervisor, Armandara's is needed back on the line.
  • So Officer Joshua Rodriguez moves in to investigate the vehicle.
  • It's a little bitty thing, you know?
  • It's kind of odd, you know, for a brand new car.
  • When you see tool marks, scratches, you might want to look further, you know?
  • It's kind of like doing detective work.
  • You want to dig deeper.
  • I noticed the air vent was covered up.
  • You're looking at the tool marks for the paint and the fresh marks on the windshield wipers.
  • We're going to go in deeper.
  • Basically, here, all along this wall is where the compartment is.
  • It runs from this end all the way across.
  • Right there, I think this is the access panel.
  • That's a problem.
  • That's a problem.
  • That's way down deep.
  • That's It.
  • My light?
  • Yeah.
  • Ready?
  • And as you can see, the duct tape.
  • Inside the panel, Rodriguez finds what he suspects is a cartel's cash load.
  • You can actually see money coming out of that one right there.
  • Money is where it hurts the more.
  • 25.
  • Make sure that there's nothing left behind, you know, before it gets towed away into the seizure lot.
  • You know, sometimes they'll have more than one compartment.
  • Ah, yeah, I can't reach that.
  • It's like a little mouse.
  • Each cartel has their own markings.
  • It's where they distinguish where it's coming from and who it's going to.
  • 75.
  • That one is $35,000.
  • Hoping for a good seizure, about $400,000, you know?
  • It all depends on what denominations these are in.
  • So, and I'm going to see the hundred Dollars.
  • Yeah, these are hundreds.
  • That's it.
  • I know I counted, but I forgot already.
  • One, six.
  • 26 packages.
  • Well, from here, we're going to secure it, and then drag one, start the count.
  • Five or six hours counting, probably.
