Pinal County Sheriff’s Office deputies seized $96,000 worth of marijuana Sunday following a vehicle pursuit that began on Interstate 8.
The car eventually exited at Bianco Road and turned south until it reached the Central Arizona Canal. The car then turned west and stopped after traveling along the canal bank for about three-quarters of a mile.
The deputy cleared the car and found five bundles of packaged marijuana. While deputies were looking for the suspects, they came across another bundle which appeared to be the same one the driver was seen running away with after the car had stopped.
The driver and passengers were never found. The marijuana weighed 128 pounds with a street value of $96,000.
