U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at El Paso area ports of entry seized cocaine and methamphetamine with an estimated street value of over $210,000 and arrested 17 fugitives over the last week.
The driver of the vehicle, a 50-year-old United States citizen, and one of the vehicle’s occupants, a 24-year-old female Honduran citizen, were fatally injured as a result of the collision.
A San Angelo man has been indicted by a Tom Green County grand jury for fraud after he was found to be in possession of multiple credit cards that belonged to other individuals.
Agents observed a vent, approximately 16 inches by 6 inches on one of the boxes and removed the vent to reveal 40 illegal aliens in a seated position trapped inside. The metal sided box had to be broken apart by unscrewing multiple bolts using a power tool found in the truck. The box had no other opening or means of escape for the occupants.
