Border Patrol agents seize a little more than seven million dollars worth of cocaine in downtown Laredo... near the Rio Grande.
Agents from the Laredo north station... patrolling near riverside drive early this morning... noticed a suspicious car.
The agents approached the abandoned car.
They noticed duffel bags with bundles of cocaine wrapped in cellophane.
Agents say the front tire was flat and the smugglers probably didn't want to get caught... so left the drugs behind.
The drugs weighed in at more than 220-pounds
