Literally.

Google Translate

Elements of the Mexican 22nd Motorized Cavalry Regiment seized more than a one of marijuana Wednesday night near the town of San Luis Rio Colorado, Baja California, say Mexican news reports.

A tractor trailer rig carrying grocery items was stopped on a road leading to Sonora Wednesday evening and searched by the cavalry unit. The truck's journey originated in Guadalajara, Jalisco and was to end in Tijuana.

Following a routine search, traces of drugs were found on the trailer floor, so the rig was moved to the unit's base near Las Adelitas farm. Specialized equipment was used to scan the truck when the drugs were found in a hidden compartment.

More than a ton of marijuana in 596 packages was discovered.

Arrested was Manuel Toscano Ramírez, 47 of Guadalajara, Jalisco.
