Yuma, Ariz. — U.S. Border Patrol agents foiled a smuggling attempt today when suspects attempting to drive a vehicle over the border fence fell prey to their own devices.
Just after midnight Wednesday morning, agents patrolling in the Imperial Sand Dunes area encountered a silver Jeep Cherokee attempting to drive over the International Boundary fence using a make-shift ramp that was not quite up to the task. When the vehicle made it to the top of the ramp, it became “high centered.”
As agents arrived on scene, two subjects fled into Mexico. After removing the Jeep from fence, agents seized both the vehicle and the ramps.
