KINGSVILLE - The Kingsville Task Force seized $600,000 found in a van during a traffic stop on Highway 77 yesterday. The van was stopped after the driver failed to use a turn signal.

We're told the four men inside were acting nervous, but they all consented to a search of the vehicle.

A DPS Trooper found $590,000 in dozens of bundles inside the seats. The suspects were carrying another $10,000 on them.

Juan Martinez, Hugo Adame, Jesus Hernandez, and Alberto Hernandez are in the Kleberg county jail charged with money laundering.
