Texas authorities find $460k in marijuana hidden among watermelons

Watermelons weren't the only thing found in a recent shipment that was crossing the border, according to news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Customs and Border Protection officers on Wednesday referred a white Freightliner tractor-trailer for secondary inspection as it was stopped at the Pharr International Bridge.

Using a non-intrusive imaging system and canine units, officers found 65 packages of marijuana hidden in a shipment of watermelons, according to the news release.

The marijuana weighed 2,304 pound, and is estimated to be worth approximately $460,761.
