"More than 1,000 pounds of marijuana were recovered from a boat that investigators suspect was abandoned on Pescadero State Beach Monday morning after being used to bring the drugs from Mexico, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesman said.
The boat—carrying 42 bales of marijuana, each weighing between 25 and 30 pounds—was found along with a Chevrolet Suburban just before 8 a.m., Homeland Security investigations spokesman Andrew Munoz said. Munoz said it appears that drug runners were loading the marijuana into the Suburban, but it became stuck in the sand and the suspects abandoned their operation." (
