LAREDO, TX. (KGNS) -Federal agents seized nearly two million dollars of drugs at a Laredo port of entry over the weekend.

The vehicle was driven by a 22-year-old man who was traveling from Mexico at the time.
After a non-intrusive imaging system examination, officers were able to find 19 packages of meth concealed within the vehicle.
The drugs weighed 98.5 pounds and had an estimated street value of $1,971,794.
CBP officers seized the drugs and the case was turned over to Homeland Security.
