Some 260lbs of marijuana worth $1million were found inside a shipment of lettuce on a tractor-trailer in Indiana.

State police released a photo of the massive drug cache that was found during a routine commercial vehicle inspection on Interstate 70 near Putnamville last week.

The driver and co-driver, 33-year-old Jorge Blanco-Diaz and 40-year-old Adan Labanino Delacruz - were arrested and charged with felony dealing marijuana, according to a press release.

Both men from Cutler Bay, Florida, are out on $10,005 bond, the Putnam County Jail said Sunday.

They were believed to have obtained the drugs in Colorado, where the sale of recreational marijuana is legal.

A trooper had noticed 'several criminal indicators' during the search Wednesday morning, the press release said.
