Granjeno, Texas - U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the McAllen station seized 36 pounds of cocaine early this morning.

Border Patrol agents were alerted to suspicious activity along the banks of the Rio Grande, south of Granjeno, by an agent operating a remote video surveillance system. Approximately six individuals were seen emerging from the river carrying what appeared to be bundles.
