An estimated $2 million worth of methamphetamine and marijuana was seized in Arizona this week, officials said Friday.
The drug haul on Wednesday yielded roughly 200 pounds of meth and 3,500 pounds of weed, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. The department collaborated with Customs and Border Protection agents as part of the County Drug Suppression Task Force (MCDST).
Authorities operating near Gila Bend spotted “two trucks avoid a border checkpoint and drive into an uninhabited desert area with their lights off,” the sheriff’s office said.
