Customs officials seized more than 2 tons of marijuana worth approximately $9.9 million on Thursday at the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, authorities said.
Agents seized the drugs, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure.
“Our CBP officers continue to maintain strict vigilance in our cargo environment and this week they came up big, with a seizure of more than two tons of marijuana,” Albert Flores, director for the Laredo Port of Entry. “We have not seen as much marijuana lately compared to the harder narcotics but it underscores the ever-changing nature of the drug threat our officers face on a daily basis.”
