December 23, 2009: Early this morning, U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Zapata, Texas station seized a load of marijuana weighing more than three tons. Responding to reports of suspicious activity in the vicinity of Falcon Shore Drive, agents observed a travel trailer with cellophane-wrapped bundles visible through the windows. A Border Patrol canine team detected the possible presence of contraband in the trailer.
Agents searched the trailer and found 284 bundles. The bundles contained marijuana with a total weight of 6,254 pounds and an estimated street value of $5 million.
Agents also apprehended one male subject who was found in a vehicle parked near the trailer.
The subject, trailer, and contraband were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
