MIAMI (WSVN) - Authorities said they made a big drug bust inside a freighter that was crossing the Miami River.

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, about a million dollars worth of cocaine was found hidden on the freighter, March 18.

Officials said the ship had arrived from the Dominican Republic, and a drug-sniffing K-9 alerted agents to the 90 pounds of powder hidden on one of the pallets.

CBP officials later shared pictures of the large haul.
