TUCSON: Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents seized two weapons during separate smuggling attempts at checkpoints in southern Arizona.

During a secondary inspection, agents discovered two Mexican nationals locked inside the vehicle’s trunk. A medical evaluation of the subjects was conducted and Agents found them to be in good health.
Agents also discovered a 9 mm handgun and two loaded magazines in the vehicle. Agents arrested all occupants of the vehicle and transported them to the Nogales Border Patrol Station.
