A shootout between Tijuana, Baja California municipal police and suspected drug traffickers Monday has led to a seizure of 134 tons of pot, say Meixcan press accounts.
One unidentified police officer was wounded in the shooting, but is expected to survive his wounds. One unidentified armed suspect was also wounded in the encounter.
The marijuana was found on seven trucks in more than 15,000 packages.
Other national reports say the drugs belonged to the Sinaloa Drug Cartel.
Tijuana is expected to be the focus of intense fighting between the Sinaloa Drug Cartel and the Beltrn-Leyva Drug Cartel in the coming months, as both groups have rearmed. The Sinaloa Drug gang is the primary competitor with the Beltran-Leyva Cartel in western Mexico.
