Tucson, Arizona | Published: 01.22.2007
U.S. Immigration and Customs agents found nearly 1,200 pounds of marijuana
and six guns inside a suspected drug stash house in north Tucson last week.
The house is located north of East River Road and just east of North Swan
Road in the 4400 block of North Placita Gazela, said Lauren Mack, ICE
spokeswoman. After receiving a tip that the residence was being used as a
stash house, agents conducted follow up surveillance and obtained a search
warrant.
In the early evening of Jan. 18, they entered the house and found 46 bales
of marijuana weighing 1,165 pounds, five handguns and one assault rifle,
Mack said. They also found a bullet proof vest, a fake Pima County Sheriff's
hat and a police procedural manual. Those items raised suspicions that the
people were running a drug rip off scheme, meaning they would stop other
drug smugglers, act as law enforcement and take their loads, Mack said.
"Why else would you have all those items in the house?" Mack said.
No one was in the house and no arrests have been made yet, Mack said. The
1,165 pounds of marijuana has an estimated value of $1.165 million,
according to figures from the National Drug Intelligence Center.
