A Phoenix man was taken into custody after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found 90 pounds of pot hidden within the frames of 6 large paintings he was trying to get into Arizona from Mexico.
The officers selected the 55-year-old man's vehicle for a routine inspection on Friday and became suspicious when a drug-sniffing dog alerted them to the paintings.
An X-ray of the frames revealed 90 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $153,000.
The agency says the paintings were professionally done and the frames were nicely constructed.
