An Ontario man with a NEXUS pass is in U.S. custody after border guards at the Ambassador Bridge say they discovered almost 73,000 ecstasy pills hidden in his vehicle's spare tire.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the suspect -- a 35-year-old Whitby resident -- tried to drive into the U.S. via the bridge's NEXUS lane around 1 p.m. Wednesday.

"This was a participant in one of our trusted-traveller programs, and he betrayed the trust that was being given to him," said port director Roderick Blanchard.

Once they'd cut open the tire, officers discovered 14 tightly-wrapped plastic bags full of multi-coloured pills, as well as five bags containing "an off-white pasty substance" that turned out to be methamphetamine.

Smith said the total weight of the pills was 23.9 kilograms, with an estimated street value of $3.6 million.
