HOLIDAY CANDLES USED IN POT SMUGGLING ATTEMPT
These holiday candles smelled more like weed than pine. A
drug-sniffing dog found about 30 pounds of marijuana hidden inside six
holiday candles at the Mexican border during the weekend.
Customs and Border Protection agents arrested a 17-year-old boy
Saturday who said he was bringing the candles as a gift from his
grandmother in Mexico to his mother in the U.S.
The boy, who has not been identified by border agents, was turned over
to El Paso police.
