Holland, Vermont - October 20, 2002

Two men from Montreal were arrested for trying to smuggle 44 pounds of marijuana into Vermont.

33 year-old Phong Nguyen and 47 year-old Houng Chau allegedly crossed the border through a side road in Derby Line and did not report for inspection. Border Patrol agents then stopped the vehicle in Holland. A police dog found the pot in a concealed compartment in a tire.

Both men are being lodged for lack of 75-thousand dollars bail each.
