U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Arizona found 14,000 fentanyl pills inside a pair of crutches that were being used by a pedestrian.

Nogales Port of Entry Director Michael Humphries said on Wednesday that the crutches were being used by a pedestrian.

During an inspection, according to Humphries, a Customs and Border Protection officer noticed that the crutches were "excessively heavy," adding that a K-9 and X-Ray examination "confirmed suspicions" that drugs were inside them.

"Body carriers including internal body carriers are regularly encountered at the port of entry," Humphries said.
