A significant seizure of cash at the Windsor-Detroit border.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection pulled over a vehicle at the Gordie Howe Bridge on November 5th and a search by a K9 detector dog turned up a suitcase full of money.

Officials say $180,000 in U.S. cash was found.

The American traveler refused to disclose the nature and source of the funds, so it was confiscated.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security continues to investigate.
