Two men were arrested after a team of Connecticut K9s sniffed out 420 pounds of marijuana in a U-Haul truck, police said.

Connecticut state police told WTIC that a state trooper pulled over a U-Haul truck driving southbound on I-95 in Darien Friday afternoon.

State police then brought in a team of four K9 drug-sniffing dogs to search the rear cargo area of the truck, when the dogs discovered 420 pounds of pot, according to a Friday evening tweet from the police department.
