ASUNCION, Paraguay, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Two police operations led to the seizure of 2.6 tons of marijuana in southern Paraguay near the Argentine border this weekend, authorities said Sunday.
The National Police said 58 bales of marijuana weighing 1.71 tons were found Saturday hidden in a wooded area near the Parana River and guarded by a 16-year-old boy, the Latin American Herald Tribune reported. The drugs were believed to be bound for Argentina.
A second cache of marijuana weighing just under 1 ton was found when National Police drug enforcement officers stopped a truck at a checkpoint.
The truck driver and the teenage boy apprehended in the first operation were taken to the police station in Natalio, the newspaper said.
