Mexican authorities have seized a catapult that was being used by drug smugglers to fling bundles of pot over the US Mexican border fence.
U.S. National Guard troops from the Naco border patrol station observed a group using the spring operated catapult on surveillance cameras, and coordinated with Mexican authorities to disrupt the operation. The smugglers had fled by the time agents showed up, but they did capture their catapult and about 60 pounds of pot.
Perhaps next time they should built a giant trebuchet, so they can fling their pot from a distance beyond camera range.
