Feds: Teenage Drug Smuggler Tried to Move Meth Across the Border with Remote-Control Car
A 16-year-old American citizen was arrested by federal authorities for allegedly trying to smuggle methamphetamine across the southern U.S. border with a remote-control car, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
A Tuesday press release from CBP’s offices in San Diego says that, over the weekend, a Border Patrol agent saw someone with two duffle bags walking along a section of border wall and “ducking in and out” of view and called for more agents to respond to the area.
One of the agents found the suspect hiding in some brush near the border with a remote-control car and two duffle bags. Upon searching the bags, authorities found 50 packages of meth with an estimated street value of over $100,000.
