Border Cops Nab Go-Kart Hauling Pot
U.S. Border cops in far-west Arizona have seized an off-road go-kart and trailer packed with pot in the latest bizarre attempt by Mexican smugglers to beat beefed up border security. The Border Patrol’s Yuma sector said agents from the Coopah Tribal Police Department spotted the single-seater go-kart hauling a trailer through the desert near Yuma, Arizona, on Tuesday night and gave chase. The driver abandoned his go-kart, which was fitted with off-road tires and painted a desert beige, after police started chasing him. The trailer has 217 pounds of marijuana, about 100 yards from the border, and fled back to Mexico. Border officials said smugglers are starting to get creative about how they smuggle drugs into the country, but so far they have been able to stay one step ahead of them.
