TUCSON, Ariz. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested one man May 4 for attempting to smuggle three handguns – with magazines – into Mexico through the Port of Nogales.
Officers selected an southbound Audi Crossover, driven by a 37-year-old Mexican national, for a secondary inspection and found two 9 mm Berettas and a .38-caliber Colt hidden under the vehicle’s front seat.
Officers seized the vehicle and contraband, and referred the subject to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
