SAN DIEGO — Federal authorities have seized more than 15 tons of marijuana in a near-record bust at a border crossing in Southern California.
that more than 1,200 packages of marijuana valued at nearly $19 million were seized from a truck-trailer carrying mattresses and cushions at the Otay Mesa border crossing.
Authorities arrested the truck’s 46-year-old driver and seized the vehicle late Thursday.
The newspaper says the seizure was the second-largest in a single incident at a U.S. border crossing, trailing a more than 35,000-pound bust in 2013.
