MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Customs officials in Chile confiscated ecstasy pills that resembled the "minions" from the animated film "Despicable Me."

About 101 pills were intercepted at Santiago International Airport with a final destination labeled as Vina Del Mar.

Officials believe the pills originally came from the Netherlands.

But they were not visible at first. The pills were hidden inside a color set for kids, officials said.

Two people were placed under house arrest as a precautionary measure following the discovery.
