A boat filled with $1 million worth of marijuana washes ashore near an air force base.

Personnel with Vandenberg Air Force Base in California found a 20-foot aluminum boat and several trash bags just on the other side of the base's fence.

Soon they discovered - the bags were full of pot.

At first - officers worried that those responsible were going to come back to try to get the drugs.

"We are looking for any potential suspects. There were no weapons found, there were no personnel found and we have determined there is no threat to the base or local community."

The Department of Homeland Security is now taking over the investigation.
