Nogales-based Border Patrol agents made a human-smuggling bust one day last week, then seized 1,654 pounds of marijuana the next.
The first incident came at the I-19 checkpoint on Dec. 20 when a service dog alerted agents to a Ford Mustang driven by a U.S. citizen. The agents subsequently discovered an undocumented immigrant hidden in the trunk of the vehicle.
Then on Dec. 21, detection technology in the Nogales area led agents to a white Chevrolet Tahoe with what appeared to be a government license plate.
When the agents attempted to make contact with the driver, the vehicle sped off. Shortly thereafter, the driver abandoned the vehicle near the border and absconded into Mexico.
Agents then learned that the Tahoe was not owned by the government, the license plate was fictitious, and there were 86 bundles of marijuana inside the SUV worth $827,000.
