Border Patrol finds $1 million worth of marijuana in desert

By Jim Edwards, Fox 11 News
Over 1,300 pounds of marijuana with an estimated value of over $1 million was seized by Border Patrol Agents from the Tucson Station on Tuesday, December 16.
That afternoon, agents operating a Mobile Surveillance System near Arivaca notified other agents that they had seen several individuals walking towards Fraguita Peak. Agents located 8 illegal aliens near the Ruby Road and Yellow Jacket Road split and took them into custody. A further search of the area turned up 53 bundles of marijuana abandoned in the desert.
The drugs will be processed for turnover to the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the eight individuals will be prosecuted under the Arizona Denial Prosecution Initiative.
