AGENTS FIND DRUG IN VACUUM-SEALED CANS
San Clemente - A man used vacuum-sealed aluminum cans to try to smuggle
marijuana into the United States, but they couldn't pass the sensitive nose
of a Border Patrol drug-sniffing dog, authorities said Thursday
The 86 cans were found in hidden compartments on side panels and the
undercarriage of the man's 1983 Ford LTD car when he was stopped Tuesday at
an Interstate 5 checkpoint at the San Diego- Orange County line, authorities
said.
The Cans were unmarked and contained marijuana with an estimated value of
$62,000, said Border Patrol spokesman Mario Villreal, who called the sealed
cans a unique smuggling technique.
