U.S. Border Patrol agents found 1,325 pounds of marijuana Tuesday near the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’odham Reservation.

Two agents and an agency dog were following the foot prints of a group of 21 illegal immigrants about four miles outside of the village of San Miguel when they came upon 21 burlap packs, said Mike Scioli, Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman.

There were 60 bundles of marijuana inside the packs, he said. The 1,325 pounds of marijuana has an estimated value of $761,875, using figures from the National Drug Intelligence Center.

Agents in the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector have seized 519,880 pounds of marijuana from Oct. 1 through April 30, down 8 percent from last year, Border Patrol statistics show. The Tucson Sector covers 262 miles from the New Mexico-Arizona line to Yuma County.

That total accounts for 51 percent of all marijuana seized along the nearly 2,000-mile southwest border.
