Commercial vehicle inspection on I-78 uncovers $36 million in marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms

Two people were arrested in New Jersey after a roadside commercial vehicle inspection uncovered a large amount of drugs.

California residents Fnu Attiq Ur-Rahman, 22, and Haffez Rehman Ur, 35, were arrested on charges of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute psilocybin mushrooms, and possession of psilocybin mushrooms, according to the New Jersey State Police (NJSP).

The charges stem from a February 18 traffic stop on eastbound I-78 at mile marker 6.3 in Greenwich Township, New Jersey.

A tractor trailer under operation by Attiq Ur-Rahman underwent an inspection.

During the inspection, “it was determined that the tractor trailer was transporting marijuana,” according to NJSP, and a subsequent search of the trailer uncovered 8,042.2 pounds of raw hydroponic marijuana, 12,062 pounds of various cannabis/THC products, and 13.4 pounds of psilocybin products.

The total weight of the seized drugs was 20,117.6 pounds.

The seized drugs are worth over $36 million, troopers say.

Fnu Attiq Ur-Rahman and Hafeez Rehman Ur were arrested and lodged in the Warren County Correctional Center.
