Border Patrol agents found 200 pounds of cocaine and methamphetamine inside the gas tank of a bus at the San Ysidro port of entry over the weekend.
The drugs are worth more than $3.2 million, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
On Sunday, around 9:30 p.m., agents at the San Ysidro port of entry were alerted to a commercial bus that was waiting to be inspected.
During a secondary inspection, agents found anomalies with the bus's gas tank and discovered 98 packages from inside.
CBP said the packages contained cocaine and methamphetamine.
The driver of the bus, a 50-year-old man who is a Mexican citizen with a B1/B2 Visa, was arrested and turned over to Homeland Security Investigations agents.
The drugs and the bus were seized by agents.
