FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Authorities seized more than $2 million worth of drugs during a traffic stop on Interstate 5 in Fresno County earlier this month.

Multiple agencies took part in an extensive search, but the driver was never found.

Authorities then discovered 235 pounds of drugs bundled in around one hundred packages.

If the suspect is found, they face several charges, including possession of methamphetamine for sale and resisting arrest.
