A Border Patrol canine sniffed out several packages of fentanyl pills that were hidden inside burritos this week in Arizona, officials said.

“A canine handler referred the male driver of a Chevrolet Tahoe to the checkpoint’s secondary inspection area at approximately 3 p.m., after his canine partner alerted to the vehicle,” according to the agency. “While in secondary, the canine alerted to a black backpack that was located inside the vehicle. Agents searched the backpack and discovered several small packages containing fentanyl pills that were stuffed inside breakfast burritos.”
