More than a ton of marijuana valued at more than $1.6 million was found near Jacumba after smugglers abandoned two vehicles at the border, according to federal officials.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent was patrolling O'Neil Valley less than a mile from the border around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday when he spotted a pair of SUVs traveling along a road, said Agent Kurstan Rosberg.
The drivers turned around and went back to the border, where they abandoned the SUVs and climbed over a 4-foot-high vehicle barrier and escaped, Rosberg said.
Agents found 2,055 pounds of marijuana in 102 bundles, worth $1.644 million, Rosberg said.
Since the current fiscal year began on Oct. 1, agents in the San Diego sector have seized 21,000 pounds of marijuana and 28 pounds of *******, according to CBP statistics.
