47 pounds of marijuana seized in Gulf Breeze

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office seized nearly 50 pounds of marijuana Wednesday afternoon in Gulf Breeze, estimated at a street value of more than $100,000, according to Sheriff's Office Spokesman Deputy Rich Aloy.

The marijuana was discovered after deputies responded to a call from the post office reporting a suspicious package.

"At that point, we had one of our K-9 units check the package, and the dog alerted on the package," Aloy said.

Deputies seized the package and discovered it contained 46.8 pounds of marijuana, Aloy said.

The box was going to a Gulf Breeze address, but Aloy said he could not confirm the specific location of the incident since it is still under investigation.

No arrests have been made.
