NOGALES β€” A clogged sewer line led Nogales public works employees to two bales of marijuana.

Nogales police say city workers hauled out the estimated 39 pounds of pot from a manhole Wednesday.

Investigators tell the Nogales International the plants were found tied to 900 feet of rope that feeds into the sewer system in Mexico.

Police say a search at the Rio Rico sewer plant, where the feed ends, did not turn up any more drugs.

The street-value of the drugs is estimated at more than $20,000.
