CLAYTON, N.C. -

The Clayton Police Department has confiscated more than 87 pounds of marijuana, the largest drug seizure in the town's history.

The department announced Thursday that detectives, along with other out-of-state agencies, had discovered shipments of marijuana that were planned to arrive in Clayton through a corporate shipping company.

So far half a dozen shipments have been discovered with the help of Clayton's K-9 member "Justice," and his handler, W.C. McIntosh.

"This is the largest drug seizure in Clayton's history, more than tripling the 28 pounds seized by officers in June of 2007," said Clayton Police Chief Glen Allen. "This is a substantial seizure, especially considering that these drugs were destined for our community."

No arrests have been made in the case, but the investigation continues with the help of the other agencies and the Wake County Sheriff's Department.
