Customs seize $26,000 US from Quebec trio
DETROIT (AP) - Customs officers seized $26,000 US cash from three people who were trying to enter the United States from Canada to buy Super Bowl tickets, authorities said.

The trio was inside a black Hummer H3 from Quebec that pulled up to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection booths at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel on Friday morning, Customs spokesman Ron Smith said.

Under federal law, people must declare cash they are bringing into the country if it's more than $10,000.

When asked if they were bringing in any money, the three said they each had less than $10,000. Upon further questioning, the trio admitted that the $26,000 was from a business and was divided up to avoid hitting the $10,000 declaration limit, Smith said.

Officers seized the money and filed civil charges against the three.

They can get the cash back if they can document its source, Smith said.
