LA JOYA: U.S Border Patrol agents have seized 400 pounds marijuana worth of $300,000 and nabbed three smugglers here the other day.
The seizure occurred when agents observed several smugglers carrying bundles of suspected narcotics. When agents arrived to the area, they arrested three subjects and seized 35 bundles of marijuana weighing almost 400 pounds, authorities say.
The marijuana and the suspects were then transported to the Border Patrol station in McAllen for processing.
