PROGRESO - Customs officers at the Progreso International Bridge are being credited with two large marijuana busts.
In the first, just more than 2,400 pounds of marijuana was found in a commercial shipment of limes. In the second bust, officers found nearly 2,000 pounds of pot hidden in a load of cucumbers.
A Customs and Border Protection spokesman says the street value from both busts is more than $4,000,000.
