Marijuana Bundle Launched Over Border Fence

A Douglas Police Department officer working within Operation Stonegarden seized more than 140 pounds of marijuana launched over the International Boundary Fence near Douglas on Monday afternoon.

Agents seized the large bundle of marijuana which was found near the fence in Douglas, Ariz.

DPD received two 9-1-1 calls around 2 p.m. regarding bundles being launched over the fence. An officer responded to the calls and found a large bundle of marijuana that had broken upon impact, exposing multiple smaller bundles inside. Border Patrol agents from the Douglas Station and other officers searched the surrounding area but did not locate any additional bundles.

The marijuana was taken to the Douglas port of entry for weighing and processing.
