(NewsCore) - A woman was arrested after allegedly trying to smuggle methamphetamine hidden in cans of jalapenos and cheese into the country from Mexico.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement Wednesday that the 27-year-old US citizen and resident of Tijuana, Mexico, was arrested shortly after midnight on Saturday after arriving at the border crossing in Otay Mesa, Calif., in a 1996 Nissan 200SX with the suspect cans in the trunk.

The CBP said, "A CBP officer inspected the trunk of the vehicle and found two cans of cheese sauce and one can of jalapenos. Based on observation techniques, the CBP officer noticed the can goods appeared abnormal and the officer used a density meter to inspect the cans which confirmed the can goods were altered."

It added, "A CBP agriculture specialist screened the cans in an X-ray machine and detected anomalies with the contents."

Officers opened the cans to discover they contained seven pounds (3.2 kilograms) of methamphetamine worth an estimated $140,000.
