SAN DIEGO -- U.S. Coast Guard officials have arrested two Mexican National smugglers accused of stashing some 1,400 pounds of marijuana in a coastal San Diego cave near the border with Mexico.

Petty Officer Henry Dunphy says crews apprehended the two Mexican Nationals early Saturday after someone reported seeing a small fishing boat being unloaded on a secluded shore near the Sunset Cliffs beach community.

Dunphy says the smugglers were handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
