DETROIT — Border brokers have intercepted greater than a ton of marijuana in Detroit.
Customs and Border Safety’s Workplace of Area Operations introduced Thursday that the medicine have been seized at its Fort Avenue Cargo Facility on Might 11.
“This seizure underscores CBP’s lengthy standing dedication to the border safety mission,” stated Port Director Devin Chamberlain. “The women and men of CBP proceed to work diligently to maintain our Nation and our communities secure.”
An x-ray scan of an inbound tractor trailer and subsequent bodily inspection performed by officers and a Ok-9 group revealed 2,175 kilos of marijuana hid inside packing containers manifested as foam pool toys, officers stated.
The illicit cargo was seized together with the trailer.
