U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a man Monday who had more than half a million dollars of cocaine hidden in his car.

At approximately noon, agents from the Newton-Azrak Station near Temecula stopped and questioned a 24-year-old U.S. citizen on I-15. A nearby K-9 team conducted a sniff of the man's car. The K-9 alerted and agents searched the vehicle. They discovered 20 bundles of cocaine hidden in the car's rocker panels.

The cocaine weighed approximately 50.93 pounds and has an estimated street value of $662,090.
