AZMEX UPDATE 25 MAY 2012

Note: To the relief of everyone's mailbox, the AZMEX reports will
once again become more infrequent and sporadic for a couple months or
so. Internet and email contact will be intermittent, but can be
reached by cell, U.S. number, if something needs quick attention.

Border Patrol agents seized 6,153 pounds of marijuana worth more than
$3 million in eastern Santa Cruz County on Wednesday. Agents from
the Sonoita Station responded to a call of two suspicious vehicles
parked east of Patagonia, and once at the scene, discovered two
abandoned vehicles loaded with 604 bundles of pot, the Border Patrol
said in a news release.

The vehicles were seized and the Border Patrol was preparing to turn
over the marijuana to the DEA. "This seizure shows how elements of
our National Strategy work when resourceful agents use information
and relations to target and dismantle transnational criminal
organizations operating within our border communities," said Michael
Hyatt, patrol agent in charge at the Sonoita Station.
