Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have been increasingly seizing drugs hidden inside the batteries of cars attempting to enter the U.S., according to a new report.

According to Border Report, agents have seized methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl on at least four occasions since April, according to Joseph Rood, spokesman for the agency's San Diego Sector.
