Marijuana found in refrigeration unit

USA: Customs and Border Protection officers in Lewiston NY arrested a Canadian man on Friday after finding marijuana stashed within the coils of his refrigerated truck.

The customs officers were said to be conducting random outbound vehicle inspections when they encountered the tractor trailer driven by Russell Gavin, who was transporting a shipment of plants from Florida to Ontario.

Officers x-rayed the truck and discovered an anomaly in the refrigeration unit. The subsequent search uncovered 156lb of marijuana packed into around 80 brick-like bundles and concealed between the refrigeration coils of the unit.
