Police seized more than $100,000 worth of Central American and U.S. currency they believe to be related to drug trafficking from two trucks at the northern border crossing of Peñas Blancas over the weekend, according to a statement from the Public Security Ministry.

The trucks were coming from Honduras and were driven by two Costa Ricans who said they knew nothing about the money, which was hidden inside the vehicles.

The drivers were identified by the last lames Fallas, 33, and Gonzales, 37. A man identified as Arguedas, 47, whom police believe to be the head of the transport company that owns the trucks, was also a passenger inside one of them.

The cash was distributed between the two trucks and hidden in various compartments, the statement said. Dollars, as well as Costa Rican colones, Honduran lempiras, Guatemalan quetzales and Nicaraguan córdobas were seized in addition to cell phones and a 38-caliber gun.

This contraband cargo was delivered to the Prosecuctor's Office, where the three arrested face charges of money laundering.

Police still do not know the total value of the confiscated cash. They asked a bank for help counting the money and, as of yesterday, they had counted $132,260.
