(September 5, 2008)—A bond hearing was scheduled Friday in McAllen for 12 men arrested in a DPS narcotics investigation that led to the seizure of more than $1.3 million worth of marijuana and a dozen vehicles including two 18-wheelers, the Department of Public Safety said.
Authorities confiscated 108 bundles containing a total of 3,106 pounds of pot Saturday in Pharr after a four-day investigation, the DPS said.
The investigation started after a DPS narcotics officer spotted something unusual about one of the seized 18-wheelers.
The pot was likely destined for somewhere in the north-central U.S. the DPS said.
The 12 men arrested are from McAllen, San Juan, Mission, Pharr, Memphis, Tenn., and Mexico, the DPS said.
