Police seize 550 pounds of marijuana in central Arkansas

Authorities said they seized 550 pounds of marijuana with a street value of $500,000 from a railroad tank car Tuesday in central Arkansas.

The seizure came two days after an individual reported to the Camden Police Department on Sunday that three males were on top of the tanker located on Wood Street, the department said on Facebook. A second caller reported Monday that a male was driving around in the same area.

Officers responded and found some rope and tools that had been used to enter the car, police wrote.

After obtaining a search warrant, authorities found 22 bundles of marijuana, weighing about 25 pounds each, inside the tank car, according to the post.

The substance, which had gas residue on the packaging, was moved to an undisclosed location. Chief Boyd Woody said Wednesday that no arrests have been made.
