California: Authorities searching the person or group behind the Marijuana found floating at the coastal area off California.
According to initial reports, authorities try to figure out how four tons of Marijuana (more than 150 bales) got into the Pacific Ocean near Orange County’s Dana Point Harbor. They were found this weekend about 15 miles out to sea.
According to the Orange County Register, Border Patrol spokesman Michael Jimenez says that in most other cases when bales of pot have been recovered from the ocean, traffickers have dropped them into the drink as they tried to escape arrest. But this time, there was no such chase and “the bales were floating with no boat in sight”, Jimenez told the newspaper.
“Officials admitted that the bales were worth about $3 million,” a local media report says.
