Federal drug agents say they have seized close to $3 million in cash at two locations in Puerto Rico.



According to the US Justice Department, the Drug Enforcement Agency\'s Caribbean Division seized the money at an apartment in the Isla Verde tourist zone and at the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport.



The seizure took place in a surveillance operation which began after agents observed two individuals unloading what appeared to be a heavy suitcase from a sports utility vehicle and entered a hotel.
