Drug Smugglers Attempt Blocked by Border Patrol Agents
Drug Smugglers Attempt Blocked By Border Patrol Agents
Release Date: February 19, 2020
DEMING, N.M. - U.S. Border Patrol agents patrolling in a remote area south of Deming, New Mexico landed a drug bust last week.
Deming station Border Patrol agents observed two people making an illegal entry into the United States Thursday. Agents noticed the pair carrying large backpacks. The two were apprehended by agents in the area as they reached New Mexico Highway 9.
With the assistance of a Border Patrol canine, agents determined that the backpacks contained marijuana.
The pair and drugs were transported to the Deming Station for further processing.
At the Deming Border Patrol station, the Drug Enforcement Agency was contacted and accepted prosecution on a 31-year-old Mexican citizen. The other individual was a juvenile citizen of Mexico and was processed accordingly.
The total weight of the two bundles was approximately 76 pounds. This is a reminder of the types of illegal drugs that are attempting to enter into our country, putting both our neighborhoods and communities at risk. The men and women of the United States Border Patrol remain committed to combating the illegal transport of these drugs while remaining vigilant and steadfast in the performance of their duties.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection welcomes assistance from the community. Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious activity to the U.S. Border Patrol while remaining anonymous by calling 1-800-635-2509 toll-free.
It is important to note that an arrest or criminal complaint is merely a charge and should not be considered evidence of guilt. Subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
