On Monday in Marana, helicopter unit-assisted agents from the Special Operations Division stopped a vehicle they suspected was involved in smuggling. A suspect ran away from the vehicle as agents approached. In addition to the guns, drugs and vehicles, agents found magazines and ammunition. They also discovered a second stolen vehicle nearby.

The bust followed a Sept. 25 incident in Arivaca, in which agents found a .45-caliber handgun, loaded magazines, several bags of ammunition and 44.1 grams of marijuana inside an abandoned backpack.

Also, on Sept. 22, agents arrested two U.S. citizens agents say were smuggling a Mexican national who was carrying a loaded handgun and ammunition.
