A border patrol dog in Yuma, Arizona sniffed out fentanyl-stuffed burritos on Monday, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The dog alerted its human partner, and the male driver of a Chevrolet Tahoe was referred to the Highway 78 immigration checkpoint's secondary inspection area where the dog then found a black backpack which was discovered to contain several packages containing several breakfast burritos stuffed with fentanyl pills.

The fentanyl packages weighed just over five pounds and are estimated to have a street value of nearly $60,000.

The 37-year-old driver—a Lawfully Admitted Permanent Resident—was arrested, and the fentanyl seized.
