More than $11 million worth of blue fentanyl pills were seized at the U.S. border at the San Ysidro Port of Entry by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBP) this week.

Border agents found the deadly pills hidden in the car during a massive bust on Sunday.

Customs and Border Patrol said in a press release that a K-9 unit encountered a “37-year-old man driving a 2008 sedan applying for admission into the United States from Mexico” at the San Ysidro POE on Sunday evening.

The vehicle was referred for further inspection after the K-9 unit was alerted for drugs near the glove compartment.

“CBP officers extracted a total of 100 packages containing blue pills concealed within the vehicle’s dashboard and within the front passenger seats”.

According to the press release, the pills were tested and confirmed to be fentanyl.
