The seizure is the third-largest so far this year in the country. In February, the Venezuela government seized five tons of marijuana in the southwestern border state of Tachira, and 4.1 tons of cocaine in Zulia last month.

Venezuelan authorities captured more than 14.6 tons of drugs in the first quarter of 2013, a 32.4-percent increase over the same period of 2012, a year when a total of 45 tons were found or confiscated.
