During the check, the police suspected that something was wrong with the driver or the car, as the press release explains.
A drug-sniffing dog then showed "great interest in the center console of the car". Vehicle specialists from the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security then dismantled the interior. They discovered a cavity containing the drugs.
The driver of the vehicle, a 52-year-old Albanian resident in Germany, was arrested and handed over to the public prosecutor's office.
