Three U.S. teens caught in San Diego with half-ton of pot on 22-foot boat
Three teenagers have been arrested after a drug-sniffing dog uncovered more than half-a-ton of marijuana beneath the deck of their 22-foot boat when it docked at San Diego’s Shelter Island, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The three were returning Saturday from Mexico when agents made a routine inspection. The three told agents they had been on a fishing trip off Ensenada. Beneath the deck, agents found 277 packages of pot, weighing 1,060 pounds and worth about $636,000, officials said.
The boat was seized and the teens _ two men, one woman _ were turned over to authorities for possible prosecution.
