A big pot bust at the Peace Bridge.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the Buffalo/Fort Erie border crossing discovered 3 pounds of marijuana that was hidden inside children's toys yesterday.
Officers selected a commercial shipment listed as “Kids Toys/Clothing” for inspection.
Upon opening the box, officers discovered two clear wrapped bags containing what appeared to be marijuana.
The contents of the bags field-tested positive for the properties of marijuana and weighed approximately 3 pounds.
In 2017, officers in the Buffalo Field Office made 640 narcotic seizures- a 6 percent increase from fiscal year 2016.
