NOGALES, Ariz. (KGUN) — The U.S. Border Patrol has caught a teenager, who apparently was trying to smuggle undocumented immigrants.
Chief Patrol Agent John R. Modlin confirms it happened Wednesday, Oct. 26.
According to a recent tweet, agents first spotted a 17-year-old driving a red Chevy Malibu near the border. That's when agents say they saw the teen pick up suspected migrants.
Chief Modlin says responding agents learned the teen is a U.S. citizen after tracking the Chevy down. They found three undocumented immigrants in the car with the driver.
Once the Chevy came to a stop, agents arrested the suspected smuggler and migrants.
