"Police in Mexacali, Mexico have confiscated a makeshift cannon used to fire packets of marijuana over the US border. The homemade device, dubbed the &amp;#039;marijuana cannon&amp;#039;, was assembled from a car engine, a metal tank and a plastic pipe. The powerful apparatus was able to shoot cylinders, filled with drugs weighing up to 13 kilos, over the fence from the border city of Mexicali to California, reports The Guardian. The cannon was seized last week after US officers told Mexican police that they had been confiscating an increasing number of drug packages that appeared to have been hurled across the border. In December 2012, several cylinders of marijuana were found by US border officials and are thought to have been fired by a similar device. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
