Border Patrol agents make $600,000 drug bust
SANTA TERESA, N.M. (AP) - Border Patrol agents have seized nearly $600,000 worth of marijuana and arrested nine people in three separate incidents in southern New Mexico.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says today that six people - four adults and two youths from Mexico - were arrested after entering the United States illegally near the Santa Teresa port of entry.
They are accused of carrying backpacks loaded with 285 pounds of marijuana valued at nearly $230,000.
Near Hatch, agents arrested two U.S. citizens yesterday after discovering the pickup they were driving was found to have 237 pounds of marijuana worth about $189,000.
And agents arrested a 22-year-old California woman on Highway 80 near Lordsburg after searching her vehicle and discovering 212 pounds of marijuana worth nearly $170,000.
