Tuesday brought almost a ton of seized marijuana to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the El Paso port. The seizure was made at the Ysleta international crossing commercial cargo facility when a 2001 Freightliner hauling a shipment of rolled roofing paper entered the port from Mexico.

The shipment was selected for a secondary dock examination where CBP drug sniffing dog “Kazan” alerted officers to the rolls. CBP officers unrolled one roll and discovered that smugglers cut rectangular spaces into the commodity and filled those with bundles of marijuana. Removed from the 192 rolls of roofing paper was a total of 1,728 bundles of marijuana, weighing 1,814 pounds. No arrests were made and the investigation continues.
