More than 1,750 pounds of marijuana was seized Monday night from a truck made to look like an official Santa Cruz County vehicle with fake decals.

Border Patrol agents found the abandoned truck near Harshaw, east of Rio Rico, and found 75 bundles of marijuana underneath a piece of plywood in the bed of the truck, said a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The truck had decals on its doors from the Santa Cruz County Flood Control Department.

The drugs were valued at $875,000. No suspects were located.
