A failed attempt to smuggle over five hundred pounds of marijuana using two ATV's.

This seizure of over 2,000 lbs of marijuana led to the eventual dismantling of a major drug organization.

Today's smugglers have become more sophisticated and the use of Narcotic K-9's has been a very effective tool in discovering the methods used by drug smugglers.

This seizure of 1,360 pounds of marijuana resulted in the recovery of three two way radios, one hand held scanner, two sets of binoculars and one pair of night vision goggles.

A total of 548 pounds of marijuana was recovered by these agents.

Backpacking is a popular method of bringing drugs into the United States.

263 pounds of marijuana was seized on the Papago Indian Rreservation
