That's a lot of weed

We used to live in Miami...and every time we would see headlines like this, it usually meant that another even more massive shipment of drugs was going unseen. You know, take down something sorta big as a decoy for the massive one that the goverment has agreed to let through. I mean we all have our own thoughts about the corruption of the governments of the world and the drug trade that has been going on... But Miami is another world so I have to wonder if AZ is also in on the game... :)

With any luck they'll burn what the officers don't take home for themselves & the neighbors will be having a hell of a party lol


BODY FOUND; 2,798 POUNDS OF POT SEIZED

A large drug seizure in Green Valley and the discovery of a body believed to be an illegal border crosser in Cochise County marked a busy early week for the Border Patrol.

On Tuesday, a ranch owner near Skeleton Ranch about 30 miles east of Douglas called authorities after a worker on the ranch discovered a man's body, said Gustavo Soto, Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman. The agency didn't know his name or age.

Through the end of March, the latest figures available, the agency has reported 49 border deaths in the Tucson Sector, down slightly from the 55 at the same time last year, figures show.

On Monday, Border Patrol agents found nearly 2,800 pounds of marijuana inside a van in Green Valley. A helicopter spotted two vehicles that appeared to be preparing to load illegal entrants. When agents arrived at West Continental Road and South Camino de Sol, they found the van and a white pickup truck, Soto said.

Agents arrested two Mexican citizens, ages 24 and 25, Soto said. Both vehicles were reported stolen.

The 2,798 pounds has an estimated value of $2.798 million, according to figures from the National Drug Intelligence Center.

Through the end of March, agents in the Tucson Sector had seized 498,815 pounds of marijuana, a 38 percent increase from the same time last year.
