LYNDEN — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say Border Patrol agents have seized 132 pounds of marijuana worth $660,000 near Lynden.

Remote cameras detected several individuals running into the U.S. from British Columbia on Wednesday night. Agents from the Lynden Border Patrol Station responded in time to see three individuals running back into Canada.

Agents say a search of the area turned up two black duffle bags filled with the marijuana known as "B.C. Bud."
