SARITA — U.S. Border Patrol agents seized nearly 8,000 pounds of marijuana the past two days, including more than 3,000 pounds at a checkpoint near Sarita.
On Tuesday, a tractor-trailer from the Rio Grande Valley was stopped for inspection about 10 p.m. at the Border Patrol checkpoint on U.S. Highway 77 near Sarita, according to a news release.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted agents to the possible presence of contraband and agents searched trailer.
Inside agents found marijuana in several plastic-wrapped bundles with an estimated street value of more than $2.4 million, according to the release.
The male driver and the drugs were turned over the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The estimated value of the entire drug seizures is more than $6.3 million, according to the release.
A Border Patrol spokesman said 98 percent of drug seizures are the result of an alert from a drug dog.
