The U.S. Border Patrol seized more than a ton of marijuana on the Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona last Thursday.

In the first incident, more than 1,400 pounds of marijuana were found in an SUV parked outside a home after a tribal member reported suspicious activity. In the second, more than 1,100 pounds were found in another SUV in a different part of the reservation.

The 2,500 pounds were worth more than $1.4 million.
