Suspects say they figured totes had machine parts; they were told to drop them off 'by the side of the road' in Durango, Mexico
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Sixteen passengers, a couple dozen pieces of luggage and 92,000 bullets.
That’s what U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found inside a charter bus attempting to leave the United States through a port of entry in El Paso last Saturday.
CBP officers converged on the southbound lanes of the Bridge of the Americas around 7 p.m. to conduct a surprise inspection of vehicles headed to Juarez, Mexico. They flagged down a passenger bus coming from Phoenix, Arizona, and questioned the driver and his assistant.
The officers asked some routine questions and lastly inquired if the two men just happened to be transporting firearms or ammo in their employer’s commercial vehicle. Driver Lucio Enriquez Garcia and co-driver Ramiro Antonio Barbosa Resendiz promptly said, “No.”
