CBP Seizes $1.6 Million Worth of Marijuana in Farm Equipment, Wire Spools
October 3, 2012 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP seized $1.6 million worth of marijuana found within a shipment of farm equipment and commercial-sized spools of wire, the agency said. A Mexican citizen was attempting to deliver the goods through the Nogales Commercial Facility and was selected for a secondary inspection of his cargo, the agency said. The truck shipment was inspected using a non-intrusive x-ray that revealed irregularities within the spools, prompting an off- load of the wire for further inspection, said CBP. Officers then drilled into the spools and found each contained metal boxes filled with a total of nearly 3,300 pounds of marijuana. The contraband, tractor-trailer and equipment were processed for seizure and the driver was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, said CBP.
