Drug dealers who tried to hide more than 71lbs of methamphetamine in a modified fuel tank were caught by police.
The hoard of drugs was found during a traffic stop by Round Rock police in Texas.
The officer who stopped the car called in a police sniffer dog who found the haul which has a US street value of $2 million (about £1.5 million).
“His suspicious were raised after receiving conflicting stories from the car’s occupants, and one of our K-9s gave the vehicle a positive alert.
“Upon further inspection, the drugs were found in a modified gas tank.”
Posting a picture of the drugs on Twitter, the department described the officer’s work as a “great job”.
