DOUGLAS: Border Patrol agents with the Tucson Sector were part of a drug seizure that netted 5,000 pounds of marijuana, worth nearly $2.5 million.
According to a recent release, BP agents were patrolling the border near Douglas, when they came across two suspicious vehicles, which then fled.
Agents were able to stop the vehicles after they used a ‘spike strip,’ and the drivers abandoned the vehicles just north of the border fence.
Both vehicles were seized and brought back to the Douglas Border Patrol Station. Along with the bundles of drugs, agents report finding 31 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition inside the vehicles.
So far this year the Tucson Sector has seized more than 685,000 pounds of drugs.
