Mexican soldiers on Wednesday seized a large drug catapult that smugglers were using to launch packages of pot into a remote area of Arizona.
U.S. National Guard troops at the Naco Border Patrol station about 80 miles southeast of Tucson tipped off the Mexican Army after a surveillance camera spotted several traffickers hurling bundles of weed over the border last Friday night.
The soldiers found the launcher about 20 yards from the border on a flatbed platform towed by an SUV, according to The Associated Press.
The crafty smugglers, though, had managed to escape before the soldiers showed up.
The catapult was about 9 feet tall and was capable of tossing about 4 1/2 pounds of pot at a time.
The soldiers also seized an SUV and 45 pounds of pot, Arizona's KVOA-TV reported.
