California Highway Patrol officers seized about five pounds of cocaine during a traffic stop in Fresno County.

A CHP Central Division Canine Officer pulled over a pickup truck on Wednesday and obtained consent to search the vehicle.

Officers found the cocaine hidden in a concealed compartment.

The driver was booked into the Fresno County Jail on drug charges including fentanyl, authorities said.

Authorities also discovered the driver had an outstanding drug trafficking warrant from another state.
