LAS CRUCES (KRQE) - Agents at a New Mexico Border Patrol checkpoint say they've seized more than 100 pounds of pot hidden inside a car.
Investigators say the drugs were found on Sunday in four metal containers placed inside the gas tank of an SUV at the check point on Interstate 25 in southern New Mexico.
A drug dog alerted agents to the stash worth about $88,000.
Border agents say the drugs and the driver, Ivon Ramos, 22, were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
