Two Massachusetts K-9 units discovered a hidden compartment filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars after a traffic stop on the Massachusetts Turnpike Sunday.

Police said a K-9 unit on patrol on the interstate pulled the vehicle over for a lane violation. The driver of the vehicle, a Manchester, N.H., man who police said was not the vehicle's owner, said he had limited knowledge about the vehicle.

Another K-9 unit arrived at the scene and asked the driver if he could search the vehicle. The driver consented and during the search, police said the K-9 unit discovered a narcotics odor on the vehicle. The dog was then placed in the vehicle and detected the smell of drugs in the vehicle's third row.
