Patrol Patrol agents say they stopped this vehicle with large packages of marijuana in the back.
On Thursday morning, agents spotted a Chevrolet Tahoe with two people inside on westbound Interstate 8 near Pine Valley. The SUV was followed to the parking lot of an El Cajon grocery store, where a search of the vehicle netted 96 bundles of marijuana with a total weight of 997 pounds, officials said.
Later that morning, a drug sniffing dog alerted agents to the possibility of drugs inside a Honda Accord at the Border Patrol checkpoint in Pine Valley, officials said. Agents found more than 92 pounds of marijuana hidden in the vehicle's door panels, officials said.
