Police in California arrested two men driving a truck carrying a reported $76 million worth of marijuana after the vehicle ran a red light this week. 

The New York Daily News reports that the vehicle was pulled over after flying through a red light in Bakersfield, Calif. on Wednesday. Police immediately detected the unmistakable smell of weed, and a police dog located over three tons of weed stashed inside of the U-Haul. 

The men, 22-year-old David Ruiz and 24-year-old Jose Alcarez, were charged with possessing marijuana for sale and suspicion of conspiracy and transporting.
