CARLSBAD — Border Patrol agents seized $462,000 in cash during an alleged smuggling attempt by a Mexican man on Tuesday, authorities said.
The 54-year-old man was driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup erratically southbound on Interstate 5 when Border Patrol agents pulled him over near Tamarack Avenue at 9:30 a.m. The man’s suspicious behavior prompted agents to have a drug dog inspect the vehicle, Border Patrol said.
The dog alerted agents to a hidden compartment on the front passenger side of the truck. Agents found 42 bundles of cellophane-wrapped currency in the compartment near the engine firewall.
The man and the cash were turned over to the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement branch of Homeland Security.
