Yesterday, police made a major cocaine bust in the south - and last night customs made a weed bust in the north.
It happened just before 8:00 last night when Customs caught some men trying to toss bundles of weed over the border fence.
Customs had caught one man with one big bag, and police chased down three others - while also finding another bundle of weed. All told it weighed more than fifty pounds. The Commissioner told us that they were bringing in high grade weed form Mexico:
