ALAMOGORDO, NM -- Border Patrol agents stationed at the Highway 70 Checkpoint seized $50,000 hidden inside a vehicle's hidden compartment, officials said.

Officials referred to the cash as "drug-contaminated currency" in a news release. The seizure was made Wednesday afternoon when the driver of a dark gray Acura was detained for a secondary inspection of his vehicle.

A drug-sniffing dog alerted agents to the hidden compartment within the vehicle. The vehicle and currency were seized and turned over to the Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST) in Las Cruces.

The driver was released pending further investigation and was not identified.
