A woman with 231 pounds of drugs and five kids in a minivan was stopped at Mexico’s border with San Diego, authorities said. The illegal drugs were worth about $1 million.

KNSD-TV reported that the 34-year-old woman was stopped just after midnight Monday at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry.

Authorities said a scanner found unusual images in the doors, side panels, gas tank and spare tire well of the Honda Odyssey.

A search discovered more than 200 packages containing methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin.

The woman was arrested and her children turned over to a family member.
