Pitbull tags along with suspected pot smugglers
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Jul 18, 2006
The Border Patrol uses dogs to sniff out drugs and drug smugglers, but it's not every day dogs help the smugglers.
That may have been the case Monday morning when a Border Patrol video surveillance system captured images of three suspected marijuana smugglers accompanied by a pitbull near the Colorado River and just north of the U.S. Port of Entry at Andrade, Calif., the patrol said.
The smuggling suspects, one of whom was carrying a handgun, fled back to Mexico before they could be caught by patrol agents, so it may never be known why they brought along the dog, said Rick Hays, spokesman for the patrol's Yuma sector.
