Members of the Mexican military and the country’s Criminal Investigation Agency found a “bazooka ” likely used to launch drugs or contraband over the border in a modified van in Agua Prieta, a town just over the border from Douglas, Arizona, in Sonora, Mexico.
The discovery was made on November 9 during a search authorized by a judge.
The Sonora state attorney general said the drugs consisted of 203 packets of marijuana, weighing more than 1,800 pounds.
The van was ” adapted ” with a metal tube, hooked up to a hose and a compressor, and the vehicle had a sliding roof allowing the tube to be raised and to fire projectiles, according to Mexican newspaper El Universal.
