LAS VEGAS ( FOX5 ) — Mesquite police arrested a man in what they described as a “major” drug trafficking case Monday.

The Mesquite Police Department said an officer became suspicious during a traffic stop on northbound I-15. After pulling over a black GMC pickup truck, police said the officer noticed “indicators of possible drug-related activity.” The officer brought a K-9 to the truck, which alerted the officer to the smell of illegal narcotics.

During a search of the truck, officers said they discovered a concealed trapdoor built into the bottom of the fuel tank. Inside, they found 45 bags of crystal meth weighing about 90 pounds and worth approximately $530,000.
