Pima County sheriff's deputies and Border Patrol agents found more than 40 illegal entrants while on the hunt for armed bandits Sunday, an official said.
Officers began looking for the bandits around noon after receiving calls that a group of border crossers had been robbed in the desert near Amado, south of Green Valley, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, a Sheriff's Department spokeswoman.
Officers found 11 entrants by about 2 p.m. and had another 30 in custody by 5 p.m., Barkman said.
Officers also saw three people with "AK-47-type weapons," she said. One was taken into custody late Sunday afternoon, Barkman said.
Using Sheriff's Department dogs and Border Patrol helicopters, officers were unable to find the other two Sunday night, she said.
The entrants taken into custody were found south of Green Valley, Barkman said.

Always nice to get a bus load at a time

GREAT FIND!

Wow, 40 criminal aliens they weren't even looking for. Perhaps we should be having manhunts along the border daily - even if we have to create a fictional bandit.

Basically these folks were caught by accident. Just imagine what we could do if we actually tried.

May be this is what they mean when they say an "accident waiting to happen"

I believe it is incidents like this one is why our Sheriff finally bowed to pressure to start this "Border Unit."

I wonder how many Deputies will actually volunteer for this...

I wonder how many more would be caught if the BP used bloodhounds? They have the best noses in the canine world, and are great dogs to boot. Also, bloodhounds are the only animal in this country who's tesstimony (for their great sniffers) is allowed in a court of law.
