SANTA TERESA, NM (CBS5) -

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 733 pounds of marijuana hidden in five John Deere tractors going across the border on Thursday.

CBP officers said a 2004 Freightliner was pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with the older model tractors and going through the Santa Teresa port when a drug-sniffing dog found the pot.

CBP officers removed 204 bundles from the tractors.

CBP said no arrests were made and the investigating is ongoing.
