BISBEE - More than two tons of marijuana were confiscated during a Mexican army raid on a home in Naco, Sonora, this week.

According to media reports, authorities discovered nearly 5,000 pounds of marijuana bundled into 320 packets inside a private residence one block from the U.S. border.

A local woman named Elba Martan Robinson was arrested during the Wednesday raid, the newspapers El Imparcial and Nuevo Dia reported.

In addition to the marijuana, the operation reportedly netted four high-powered rifles, three bullet-proofed vehicles, bullet-proof vests and false police uniforms.
