A man who is suspected of trying to disable a border camera east of the San Ysidro port of entry last week was arrested by Border Patrol agents after two accomplices abandoned him as he held tight to a surveillance tower.
Video from a camera on a tower next to the one the three had targeted shows two people setting up a ladder and then a third person climbing the ladder to reach the tower's built-in rungs.

When Border Patrol agents approached, the two people on the ground fled to Mexico and took the ladder, stranding the man who had scaled the tower.

Agents helped the man down from about a third of the way up the 80-foot tower, and they took him into custody. Agents said the man told them he had intended to put black tape over the camera lens. –J.C.
