In a significant blow to illegal drug activities in the Rio Grande Valley, the Starr County Sheriff’s Office made a substantial marijuana seizure in the community of Mi Ranchita. On Monday, authorities confiscated 121 pounds of marijuana after a driver abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene, sparking an intense manhunt and ongoing investigation.
Mi Ranchita, a small and typically tranquil community in Starr County, became the center of attention as law enforcement officers descended upon the area. The seizure is a part of the broader efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region, which has long been a battleground in the war against narcotics.
