U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers Sunday discovered 150 pounds of methamphetamine hidden inside popcorn boxes in a woman’s SUV at the San Ysidro port of entry.

An officer stopped the 25-year-old U.S. citizen after noticing a large amount of food inside the 2010 Jeep Liberty, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Anomalies were detected when officers used the port’s imaging system on her vehicle, so a CBP canine team was called to investigate. The drug-sniffing dog alerted officers to the popcorn boxes located in the rear cargo area of the woman’s car, NBC reported.

Upon searching the popcorn boxes, large packages of methamphetamine were revealed, said officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Officers found a total of 15 large packages of methamphetamine, weighing 150 pounds, which amounted to a street value of more than $481,952.

The drugs were all stuffed into boxes of popcorn.
