U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers confiscated 2,366 pounds of marijuana on Monday at the Bridge of the Americas.

The pot was found in a commercial truck crossing into the country from Mexico. While scanning the truck, officers noticed a strange appearance on the floor of the truck.

A drug sniffing dog alerted officers to the floor. Officers found 213 bundles filled with marijuana inside the floor.

The driver of the truck was arrested and faces drug charges.
