DOUGLAS — An airborne attempt to smuggle marijuana into the U.S. States was unsuccessful Thursday, federal authorities said  Friday.

Agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement working with the Douglas Police Department and the U.S. Border Patrol seized nearly 980 pounds of marijuana in two smuggling incidents, according to ICE spokesman Vincent Picard.

In the first incident, ICE agents learned of a possible marijuana smuggling attempt involving ultralight aircraft in an area near Highway 80 and Double Adobe Road, he said.
