A 26-year-old Safford woman was detained for trying to smuggle three rifles into Mexico, officials said Tuesday.

The woman was stopped Feb. 4 heading into Mexico at the Douglas border crossing.

Customs and Border Protection officers conducted a search of the woman’s 2001 Chevrolet pickup truck, said a news release from that agency.

Officers found the three military-style rifles hidden under the hood and inside the firewall, the agency said.

The woman, a U.S. resident, was turned over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
