Two San Benito brothers are in custody for allegedly possessing over 100 pounds of marijuana.

On Saturday, April 21, officers with the San Benito Police Department (SBPD) arrested the two men accused of illegal possession of marijuana.

At 12:55 a.m., SBPD officers responded to a call by U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents at the 4000 block of Kornegay Road to execute a search warrant at the residence there.
