EAST COUNTY – Three people are facing drug smuggling charges after Border Patrol agents seized more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana from two vehicles, officials said. Patrol Patrol agents say they stopped this vehicle with large packages of marijuana in the back.
On Thursday morning, agents spotted a Chevrolet Tahoe with two people inside on westbound Interstate 8 near Pine Valley. The SUV was followed to the parking lot of an El Cajon grocery store, where a search of the vehicle netted 96 bundles of marijuana with a total weight of 997 pounds, officials said.
Later that morning, a drug sniffing dog alerted agents to the possibility of drugs inside a Honda Accord at the Border Patrol checkpoint in Pine Valley, officials said. Agents found more than 92 pounds of marijuana hidden in the vehicle's door panels, officials said.
