Two stops at the Santa Teresa port of entry have netted more than 280 pounds of marijuana.
Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection say they made the stops Tuesday.
The first happened around 9 a.m. when a Ford pickup truck pulled into the port from Mexico. An officer noted an anomaly in the auxiliary fuel tank in the bed of the truck.
A drug sniffing dog and the port's x-ray system helped to uncover 165 marijuana-filled bundles hidden in the fuel tank. The driver was arrested.
The second seizure happened in the evening when a sedan entered from Mexico. That driver was arrested after officers found more than 100 bundles of marijuana hidden in multiple compartments within the car.
