Recently in San Diego, a tractor trailer was seized while going through US Customs and Border Protection agency. The truck came under suspicion when it was traveling through an x-ray system, that caught an "anomaly," during the process. After further inspection of the vehicle, by US border officials, 31,598 pounds of marijuana had been seized. This total amount of pot has an estimated street value of $19 million. This is the largest reported drug bust at this entry point into the US. It is located right in between San Diego, California and Tijuana, Mexico. The 46-year-old Mexican driver of the tractor trailer, who has a valid border-crossing pass, was turned over to US immigration. The tractor trailer was disguised as a mattress transporting vehicle; however, according to reports there were only a few mattresses barely covering the pot.
