AP/        Authorities in Tijuana now report that a marijuana bust was even bigger than first announced, 134.2 tons and not the original estimate of 105 tons with a street value of over $400 million usd.
     Security official Alejandro Poire believes the drugs belong to the Sinaloa drug gang and called it a historic seizure.
      "This is an important milestone that demonstrates the ability of the Mexican state when security forces in three levels of government coordinate and take responsibility around a common goal," he said.
     The pot was stored in tractor trailers and houses wrapped in different colors and labeled with apparently coded phrases and pictures that included the cartoon character Homer Simpson.
