SANTA TERESA, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say federal officers at a southern New Mexico border crossing found nearly half a ton of marijuana concealed inside metal pipes being hauled on a flatbed trailer.
Customs and Border Protection say officers found 928 pounds of marijuana in six containers Tuesday after they used an x-ray, a drug-sniffing dog and a drill to inspect the pipes at the Santa Teresa port of entry.
The marijuana was in six non-metal containers inside the pipes.
