A K-9 unit helped Border Patrol agents seize more than 80 pounds of cocaine that was hidden in an SUV’s dashboard this week.

The vehicle was pulled over on the 15 Freeway near Temecula at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release.

“During the vehicle stop, a Border Patrol canine team conducted an air sniff of the vehicle and the canine alerted to the possible presence of narcotics,” the release added. “A cursory search of the vehicle revealed what appeared to be cellophane wrapped packages consistent with narcotics smuggling.”

The occupants of the vehicle, whom the Border Patrol did not identify, were arrested.

Back at the Border Patrol station, agents found 31 bundles containing a total of 81 pounds of cocaine hidden inside a “non-factory compartment behind the dashboard,” authorities said.

To report information to the Border Patrol, call 619-498-9900.

A historic ballpark in Ontario used in the filming of several popular baseball movies went up in flames overnight.

The fire was reported around 11:30 p.m. Thursday at Jay Littleton Ball Park in the 1000 block of North Grove Avenue.

Ontario Fire Department crews found heavy smoke and fire from the stadium and the dugout when they arrived.

The extent of the damage to the ballpark and whether it could be salvaged was unknown.

“It’s upsetting … This ballpark has been a part of the city’s baseball history. I have two young kids in our league and the dream has always been that they get to play at Jay Littleton,” Ontario Eastern Little League President Aaron Matthiesen said.

The field was used in the filming of the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own,” which featured a star-filled cast including Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna. The movie was directed by the late Penny Marshall.

It was also used in the movies Eight Men Out and The Babe Ruth Story, according to the City of Ontario’s website.

Two people are in custody while police continue to search for the driver of a suspected stolen vehicle who led authorities in a chase that ended in the area of East Los Angeles.  

It’s unclear exactly what time officers with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollenbeck Division initiated the pursuit, but just before 11 p.m., Sky5 located the suspect in the westbound lanes of the 60 Freeway.  

The driver transitioned to northbound lanes of the 710 Freeway before exiting at Ramona Boulevard and continuing the chase on surface streets.  

As the suspect took the chase onto North Eastern Avenue, near East Sheriff’s Road, he slowed the vehicle to a stop, jumped out with his hands up and fled on foot.  

Sky5 captured the suspect as he climbed a fence and jumped into a parking lot, not far from the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department training facility.  

When Sky5 left the scene, the search for the driver continued.
