Federal officials seized more than 900 pounds of marijuana from several boxes at UPS Worldport last week.
UPS Worldport is located at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
According to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 36 boxes on three pallets were intercepted by customs officials on Tuesday. The shipment originated in Canada and was bound for a corporation in California. According to the manifest, they contained ATF adapter kits.
But officials said they identified an “organic anomaly” as the packages were x-rayed, and it was determined they contained 909 pounds of marijuana.
Federal officials estimate the value of the marijuana to be more than $2.27 million.
The investigation has been turned over to Homeland Security Investigations.
