Border Patrol agents seized more than 800 pounds of marijuana in three cases Thursday in Southern New Mexico, officials said.
The largest seizure was at the Interstate 25 checkpoint north of Las Cruces, where agents found 315 pounds of pot inside a false floor in a 1995 GMC van with temporary plates from Colorado. A man and woman, the drugs and the van were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
In the desert near Lordsburg, agents in a helicopter confiscated 236 pounds of marijuana in five backpacks abandoned by a group of men who ran into Mexico. And near Hachita, N.M., agents captured five men and six backpacks filled with 313 pounds of marijuana.
