Tijuana is known for huge marijuana seizures. In 2010, Mexico authorities said a shootout led to the search of a Tijuana industrial warehouse where they discovered 125 tons of marijuana.

Officials said the approximately 10,000 packages of pot found hidden in six cargo containers constituted one of the largest drug busts in recent Mexican history. Go here for more including photos and video.
