Feds Arrest 7 for Marijuana Smuggling Bound for Miami, Florida
Federal agents recently arrested 7 people for allegedly smuggling marijuana bound for Miami, Florida. These arrests began with a major bust that went down on December 11, 2010. In that bust, Federal law enforcement acted on information received concerning two boats laden with marijuana that would arrive in Miami from Bimini.
After watching the boats travel up the New River, Federal agents saw the boats dock at a particular house. A raid was executed and 90 bales of marijuana were seized from the bottom of the vessels. A search of the residence attached to the dock revealed the presence of a hydroponics lab, 15 cannabis plants, and a cooler with additional marijuana.
Three people were arrested and charged with conspiracy to import a controlled substance and conspiracy to possess and distribute a controlled substance, however the names of those arrested have not yet been released.
