(CNN) — US Customs and Border Protection officers have seized $60,000 worth of methamphetamine hidden in child booster seats at a checkpoint in California, the agency said. Agents assigned to the Newton Azrak Border Patrol Station in Murrieta stopped a driver on an interstate north of the checkpoint on Wednesday. There were two adults and four children inside the vehicle, authorities said in a news release on Friday. The agency dispatched a K-9 team, which detected the presence of narcotics inside the children’s three booster seats, the agency said. “In those booster seats, several packages were found containing a white crystal substance that tested positive for methamphetamine,” according to the release.
