SAN LUIS - More than 30 pounds of drugs were discovered being smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico Monday morning.

Nestor Martinez-Noriega, of San Luis, Rio Colorado, Sonora, was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Agents used canines to find $275,000 worth of cocaine throughout Martinez's truck.

Martinez was later deferred to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and his car was taken into police custody.
