RGV Agents Seize 166 Pounds of Marijuana After A Failed Smuggling Attempt
- 2 years ago
Agents disrupted two human smuggling events and seized 166 pounds of marijuana.
Brownsville Border Patrol Station camera operators observed several subjects scaling the border wall with several bundles of narcotics on August 4. BRP agents responded to the area and encountered the subjects loading the bundles into a Chevrolet Tahoe who sped off. The vehicle failed to yield and led agents on a vehicle pursuit. The driver struck another vehicle as he attempted to evade law enforcement authorities. The pursuit ended when the driver drove into a parking lot and attempted to abscond. Furthermore, agents apprehended the Mexican national driver, two U.S. citizen passengers, and recovered the bundles, with an estimated street value of more than 133,000 USD. Texas Department of Public Safety troopers responded and took custody of the narcotics, vehicle, and subjects to be charged with state charges. No injuries were reported.
