$2 million pot shipment found in load of produce

SAN DIEGO: Federal authorities on Thursday seized nearly 2 tons of marijuana hidden in a truckload of produce at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry.

The driver of a semitrailer truck entered the cargo port about 4:15 p.m., and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers noticed anomalies when they X-rayed the contents. A drug-sniffing dog also alerted, and officers found 256 packages of pot hidden among the produce.

The marijuana has an estimated street value of about $2 million.
