Customs and Border Protection officials seized more than $1.1 million in would-be smuggled methamphetamine on Saturday at the border in Texas.

Officials assigned to the Colombia Solidarity International Bridge made the grab after an officer spotted a man, identified as a 47-year-old Mexican citizen, driving a 2010 BMW X5 and cited the vehicle for a secondary inspection, according to a CBP release.

A canine search and "nonintrusive" inspection examination revealed at least 120 pounds of alleged methamphetamine.

The street value of the narcotics is estimated to be $1,108,878, the release noted.

"This seizure is yet another example of how vigorous, forward-leaning border security operations halt illicit contraband from seeping through our borders and reaching our communities," acting Laredo Port Director Javier Vasquez said.

Further investigation into the seizure is being conducted by Homeland Security Investigations special agents.
