Just a normal everyday traffic stop: pulling over a couple of Chinese nationals, driving through Texas, with $250,000 worth of gold bars on their person.

That was the scene last week in Van Zandt County, according to KETK NBC.

Sgt. Charlie Hughes of the Wills Point Police Department was monitoring traffic on I-20 near the 533-mile marker when he saw a White Chevy Malibu with Michigan plates committing a traffic violation.

He then stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as 25-year-old Weijian Chen.
