Two popular Instagram models are accused of trafficking over 200 pounds of cocaine with a street value of $2.1 million.

Racquelle Anteola 34, of Van Nuys, California and Melissa Dufour, 36, of Miramar, Florida, were arrested Thursday, June 1, by the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of the U.S. Border Patrol.

Deputies searched their SUV and discovered more than 217 pounds (nearly 100 kilos) of cocaine hidden in secret compartments in the floorboards and side panels, according to authorities.

“The vehicle’s back seat was modified with a steel aftermarket compartment,” said officials. “The SUV’s floor had also been lowered and welded back together to provide storage room. The second compartment was located in the back of the SUV, where the side panels were hollowed out.”
