    Air and Marine Operations and Partners Intercept Smuggling Boat off Coast of Carlsbad

    Air and Marine Operations and Partners Intercept Smuggling Boat off Coast of Carlsbad

    Release Date: August 21, 2020

    AMO crews along with partners
    interdicted a panga-style boat with
    nine individuals onboard off the coast
    of California.

    SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Air and Marine Branch (SDAMB), in collaboration with U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and other partners, interdicted a panga-style boat with nine individuals onboard off the coast of Carlsbad, California Thursday night.

    On August 20, at about 10:20 p.m., SDAMB Multi-role Enforcement Aircraft (MEA) crew detected a single-engine panga with nine subjects aboard and guided a SDAMB Coastal Interceptor Vessel (CIV) to the suspected boat.


    The CIV crew attempted to stop the vessel utilizing blue lights, sirens and spotlight, but the panga failed to yield.

    In compliance with CBP policy, AMO agents placed disabling rounds into the suspects’ engine to bring it to a stop, at approximately 12 nautical miles west of Carlsbad.


    AMO crews relayed the information to USBP agents on the ground, who took custody of the suspects. The investigation is continuing.


    A Multi-role Enforcement Aircraft crew detected
    the suspected single-engine panga-style boat.
    “AMO agents and our Regional Law Enforcement partners remain vigilant, committed and focused on detecting, intercepting and disrupting smuggling attempts off the Southern California coast, said Timothy Sutherland, Director of the San Diego Air and Marine Branch. “This interdiction is another example of AMO’s unique capabilities, which combines technology, aviation and maritime assets and the training and expertise of our dedicated agents.”

    sirens and spotlight, but the panga failed to yield.
