EL PASO, Texas —
Officials said copy paper wasn't the only thing a tractor-trailer was hauling.
On Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered $3,008,000 worth of marijuana at the Bridge of the Americas.
The truck arrived around 4 p.m. and CBP officers conducted X-ray examination, leading to a secondary inspection in which a drug-sniffing dog was used.
Officials said that the dog alerted them to 322 bundles of marijuana that weighed 3,670 pounds.
No arrests were made and the investigation is ongoing.
