PITTSBURGH -- Federal agents conducted a marijuana bust Thursday in Pittsburgh, and it extended into parts of Florida and Canada.

Locally, several homes were raided in various Allegheny County neighborhoods.

Six men were charged with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute 100 kilograms of marijuana, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan.
