The Ajo Station All Terrain Vehicle Unit was patrolling in a remote area northeast of the Lukeville Port in Arizona when they observed vehicle tire tracks in the desert. Agents followed the tire tracks to an abandoned pick-up truck that was carrying 80 bundles of marijuana weighing 1,750 pounds. A records check revealed the truck had been reported stolen out of Peoria, Ariz. The marijuana and truck were seized and transported to the Ajo Station for processing.
