3 arrested after troopers find 350 pounds of pot

Posted: Updated:

Three men are behind bars after troopers seized about 350 pounds of hydroponic marijuana worth just over $1.5 million.

Troopers stopped a pick-up truck in Erie County near Milan Thursday morning and found eight large duffle bags filled with pot.

A Minneapolis man and two men from Seattle, Washington are charged with drug trafficking and possession.

Troopers say drug violations are up significantly this year.  Through December 10, they've made about 1,400 more drug arrests than during the same time period in 2010.
