Border Patrol agents believe someone slipped a drug-laden remote car through a gap in the bollard-style border fence and repeatedly drove it to the waiting teen
A 16-year-old boy was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of using a remote-controlled car to transport methamphetamine across the border near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, authorities said.
An agent spotted the boy hiding in thick brush near the border, about a mile north of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, about 12:30 a.m. Sunday. The teen had two large duffel bags and a remote-controlled car with him, and agents found 50 packages of methamphetamine weighing more than 55 pounds in his bags.
The remote-controlled car “would have had to make multiple runs and go back and forth a few times,” Francisco said. “There is no way he would have been able to do it in one trip.”This isn’t the first time agents have discovered smugglers using remote-controlled devices to bring narcotics into the country.
