SOUTH COUNTY: Two Mexican truck drivers were jailed after trying to smuggle nearly $3 million worth of marijuana into the United States, federal authorities said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers became suspicious when a 32-year-old Mexican citizen drove into the Otay Mesa Port of Entry about 3:30 p.m. Friday in a semi-truck tractor without a trailer. A drug-sniffing dog helped officers find 10 packages of marijuana, weighing 350 pounds and valued at more than $1 million, in two saddle fuel tanks, a Customs official said.
About 6:30 p.m. the same day, officers found what they called an anomaly in the front wall of an empty big-rig trailer. Officers probed the wall and punctured a package. They pulled out 42 packages of marijuana weighing 621 pounds, valued at $1.8 million. The 25-year-old driver, a Mexican citizen, was arrested. –P.R.
