The cargo was manifested as wood furniture but there was a lot of grass mixed in with it.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Tecate cargo facility found over 2,400 pounds of marijuana in a bobtail truck that entered the port at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. The truck and driver were referred to secondary inspection where the port's imaging system detected anomalies in the cargo. A CBP canine team screened the truck and alerted to the furniture. Officers found 81 large wrapped packages of marijuana commingled with the shipment. The estimated street value of the grass is nearly $1 million. The driver was turned over to Homeland Security Investigations for further processing.
