SAN JUAN, TEXAS -- Some cucumbers held a $3 million surprise for San Juan police.

An officer discovered millions of dollars worth of cocaine hidden inside a truckload of cucumbers.

A patrol supervisor pulled over the driver of a semi for a traffic violation.

The supervisor said the man was acting nervous, so the supervisor searched the truck's cargo.

A narcotics dog immediately smelled the drugs.

"In this case, there was good observation from our supervisor because the seal of the truck had been tampered with," said San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez.

San Juan police have not released the name of the driver because they plan to make more arrests soon.
