More than $3.2 million of marijuana is off the streets after authorities found it hidden inside a jalapeño shipment.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers reported it all happened at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge on Tuesday.

Customs officers told Action 4 News that an 18-wheeler from Mexico was sent to a secondary cargo inspection area.

Authorities reportedly found 352 packages with 3,162 pounds of marijuana inside.

No arrests have been made but the case remains under investigation by federal officials.
