More than 500 pounds of  suspected cocaine were discovered during a Nebraska traffic stop after a police K9 alerted troopers to the odor of a controlled substance coming from the vehicle, authorities said.

The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) said troopers arrested a suspect Wednesday after finding approximately 525 pounds of suspected cocaine and 9.3 grams of suspected heroin inside the vehicle.

Authorities credited the discovery largely to K9 Gable.

"Amazing work today by Troopers and K9 Gable, who sniffed out 525 pounds of cocaine during a traffic stop on I-80," the NSP posted on X.
