02:50It's positive cocaining in these two colors for processing.
03:01Divided colors in and through positive cocaining.
03:15Thank God we did not let that drug going out to the streets.
03:21And for us, that is more important than anything else.
03:24We are looking to disrupt this, and I'm happy that we were able to seize this today.
03:54Today we are going to a container examination site to inspect containers that we believe have stolen vehicles inside of
04:00them.
04:01We are seeing a huge increase in the volume of stolen vehicles leaving this port.
04:06We have seized more vehicles leaving the country in the last two years than any other port in the United
04:10States.
04:17What we are seeing these profits going to is human smuggling.
04:20We are seeing these cars, these $100,000 cars also being used as payment for narcotics.
04:26And they are also being used to fund terrorism.
04:29These vehicles get stolen, they get taken to a pile of different countries.
04:33We see these cars going to the Middle East in some cases, where they are later outfitted with RPGs and
04:38such, and used against their American troops.
04:40So these cars are quite profitable in the criminal world.
04:48These containers are lined up.
04:50We take a whole plethora of information that comes in from outside sources, including confidential informants, to target containers.
05:08This is one of those containers that we've got gear marked.
05:15Just take that out and drop it over to the corner there.
05:25Yeah, there's an auction sticker on this.
05:32When a car is stolen and recovered, the owner of the vehicle has the option to take that car back.
05:37If they don't take it back, the car is then sold at auction.
05:40So we'll see those cars going out a lot of times, but sometimes the bad guys will actually make it
05:44look like it was sold at international auto auctions.
05:47And try to make it look like it's going out of the country, and it was an auction car, when
05:50in fact it wasn't.
05:52So we're going to look at the Federal VIN sticker on the door.
05:54We're going to look at the public VIN on the front.
05:56And then there's other numbers on the vehicle that we're able to use our port partners to identify the true
05:59identity of the car.
06:00And then from there, he's going to check a couple of other different databases to make sure that there's nobody
06:04looking for the vehicle.
06:05Like it wasn't involved in a crime, that the vehicle, it sold at auction properly.
06:15So it's a junk salvage.
06:182017 Audi, it got involved in bad action.
06:21It is manifested.
06:23So it's good to go?
06:24It's good to go, yeah.
06:24Okay.
06:25So it is manifested correctly.
06:27The documentation for the contents within that container match what the contents are.
06:32We'll close the container up and let it proceed to where it's being exported to.
06:38So what we're going to do now is we're going to go over to eight terminals.
06:41We have interest in a particular container that's there that is manifested as grass, but it may contain stolen vehicles.
06:47So we're going to conduct what we call a pop and tap.
06:50Where basically we go out, we have that container dropped in the terminal to identify if the contents are in
06:57fact grass.
07:23We're at the Rio Grande Valley.
07:24We have three point of entries, Hidalgo Far and Anzalduas.
07:28The Hidalgo Bridge, the bridge we're currently at, has the most traffic.
07:31It's going to have a ton of pedestrian travelers.
07:34It's going to have a lot in the vehicles.
07:37Anzalduas, it's a little bit further out.
07:39It gives travelers the opportunity to not be all congested into one location.
07:43When you go over to the Far Bridge, it's going to have a lot more of the cargo.
07:47Thousands of containers a day.
07:50Each port has their own offices, their own skill sets.
07:52And the reason they're separated is you couldn't handle that much traffic in one port.
08:02I'm going to go.
08:03I'm going to go.
08:03I'm going to go.
08:03I'm going to go.
08:04I'm going to go.
08:04I'm going to go.
08:06I'm going to go.
08:06I'm going to go.
08:06Mainly our focus here in this Hidalgo Bridge is we're checking the vehicles coming inbound.
08:11If an officer in primary believes that the vehicle is suspicious or the travelers are suspicious,
08:16they send them in.
08:20Okay, listos.
08:21Good deal, okay?
08:22Good deal.
08:24A lot of them have secret compartments.
08:25A lot of them bring in, you know, narcotics in the gas tank and the tires.
08:32Secondary is pretty much where we check vehicles for narcotics.
08:36We know what that means.
08:37They know what that means.
08:40Should be good with this one.
08:56Hi.
08:58No food, alcohol, tobacco.
09:00No sir.
09:00Alright, have a good day.
09:04Buenos dias.
09:06¿Qué?
09:06Algo para declarar?
09:08No.
09:08¿Dónde van ustedes?
09:09Vamos nomás aquí a Macallan.
09:11Macallan.
09:14All right, if you can do me a favor
09:16and go ahead and pull into number three.
09:19Okay, now you're just secondary.
09:23Maybe, yeah.
09:28No.
09:31This is JJ.
09:32She's a black lab.
09:33She's seven and a half years old.
09:35We have been a team for us.
09:38She's 13 right now.
09:39We're both working right now.
09:43Cool.
09:44That's the first thing.
09:45Can you come?
09:46Good question.
09:48Woo-hoo-hoo!
09:53Woo-hoo-hoo!
09:54Woo-hoo-hoo!
09:56Woo-hoo-hoo!
09:57Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
09:59Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
10:02Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
10:04Woo-hoo-hoo!
10:05Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
10:09Alert in the trunk.
10:18Good girl.
10:19Good girl.
10:23Good girl.
10:26Canine alert to the third row of this viewer conflict.
10:32I saw her change of behavior and then we pinpointed the side of the trunk.
10:37You guys can look at it and then we'll send it in for a Z portal.
10:40But definitely scanned because it was all here.
10:43This area right here?
10:43Yep.
10:44All right.
10:44You can search it.
10:45We'll do the 7 point and then we'll check it out on the Z portal.
10:49Drug smugglers, this is their trade.
10:51This is their profession.
10:52They know where to hide things.
10:54They know how to try and circumvent our inspectional operations.
10:57You said this is left corner?
10:59Yeah, right here and then all right here.
11:07The lift gate motor.
11:12We need to be one step better when we do our inspections and knowledge of cars,
11:16where the voids are, where you can hide things, things like that.
11:20Absolutely key.
11:22You see the wheel well?
11:24It's either been cut or it's been damaged, but I've never seen one damaged this way.
11:33And there's a vent back here, like a structural vent, keeps air circulating from the wheel well.
11:41If there was something in there, then it would come through here where the dog hit.
11:48We'll run it through the x-ray.
11:57We should be hitting in something that's a fire?
12:00It could be.
12:01Yeah, depending on the odor.
12:09All good.
12:11All clear.
12:13Unfortunately, we didn't find anything, even though the canines did alert to it.
12:18We did everything that we could for an inspection, but we will keep looking and hopefully we find something.
12:44So we got a choice, guys.
12:46Should we venture off yonder?
12:49Let's go do it.
12:50The sea state's good, man.
12:51Yeah, let's go to the Narrows.
12:52Get into something.
12:54Come hop in, because if we get something, we're getting something.
12:57All right.
12:58We're going to go sit inside the Narrows in between St. John and the British Virgin Islands.
13:03We've been getting boats coming in early afternoon around this time.
13:07We have a split second to basically get in behind and get in pursuit.
13:11I'm the vessel commander for today, so we're going to switch out seats and go patrol.
13:15Stop him.
13:18Coming up.
13:22We have a hard border that separates U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands.
13:28Anybody that crosses over into the United States, we have the authority to conduct a border search.
13:33It's a high-traffic area for smuggling events, whether it's narcotics or human smuggling.
13:42A lot of the smuggling adventures will come from Colombia or Venezuela
13:46and work their way up through the Lesser Antilles.
13:50The British Virgin Islands is a stop in between before it enters the U.S. Virgin Islands,
13:54and then on the other side of St. Thomas, we have Puerto Rico.
13:58And that's the ultimate goal, to get to Puerto Rico and then into the United States.
14:06What do we have coming inbound here, guys?
14:10Well, without point.
14:12Say hello.
14:13Yeah.
14:24Good boy.
14:25Nice as customs.
14:28Good day, sir. Good day.
14:29Who are you heading to?
14:29What about my ID?
14:30Huh?
14:31It's your ID ID.
14:32Yeah.
14:34Where are you heading to us?
14:35About St. Thomas.
14:37Uh, St. Thomas?
14:38Yeah.
14:38I got him.
14:39Uh, we're about to St. Thomas.
14:40It's my car.
14:41St. Thomas?
14:42Yeah.
14:43All right, do me a solid.
14:44Can you just open these up for me?
14:45Yeah.
14:50Another quick question.
14:51How much cash do you have on you?
14:53I don't give it $10,000.
14:55Nope.
14:56All right.
14:57I appreciate the test.
15:00I'm good, right?
15:01Yeah.
15:06We get frequent flyers like that all the time.
15:08I know his father very well.
15:13Smuggling boats have come in as early as 1230 in the afternoon and as late as four o'clock in
15:18the
15:18morning.
15:19So it's luck of the draw.
15:21Hopefully we get lucky today.
15:22Fingers crossed.
15:40There's hundreds of thousands of containers in these yards.
15:46The security has taken us to the location where this container has been dropped and the target has
15:51found some traits that are identical to traits on pest containers that had stolen vehicles.
15:57We're going out to make sure that it has what's manifested in it.
16:00So in this case, it's manifested as grass, regular planting grass.
16:12How many boxes up is it?
16:14Uh, the second one.
16:17It's almost like a Rubik's Cube.
16:19You have to move all these containers around to get to the one that we need.
16:25So once the gantry crane drops that down, we'll do a quick pop and tap on it.
16:29If it's, uh, if it's anything other than grass that's supposed to be in there,
16:34we're going to, uh, have it taken over to the container examination site.
16:40All right, have at it.
16:53Watch it.
16:54What is it?
16:56Ah, nice.
17:04Three cores on them.
17:06Three?
17:06For second three.
17:12The documentation for this container states it's supposed to have grass inside of it,
17:16like the grass you'd grow in the field.
17:17Upon opening it, you can see there's a blue truck in the back.
17:20Looks like a Honda CR-V in the front.
17:21So obviously it's not what we were told was supposed to be in there.
17:27We both need a driver.
17:29Yep, yep.
17:30Here we go.
17:34We have the container examination site,
17:35sending a driver over with a chassis so we can take this container back.
17:41It's vital details and it has a temporary plate.
17:43We just received information now that there's a sister container associated with this.
17:48It's the same inconsistencies with the documentation for the container.
17:52So chances are better than not that there's going to be vehicles in that as well.
18:02So he just left the site there. He's coming through the out gate here.
18:05This is our container down here with the white cab in it.
18:08So we're going to go over to the container examination site now.
18:11Back that one in and then the second container is also being picked up as we speak.
18:16And when that gets over there, we'll open that container and take a look and see what we have.
18:29Hello. How are you? What you doing Mexico?
18:34How long are you there?
18:37I just froze in the morning.
18:38Just this morning? Okay.
18:42All right.
18:49Hello, good afternoon.
18:50Sir, what'd you do in Mexico?
18:55U.S. citizens go to Mexico more than anything
18:57for a doctor.
18:59Medication over there is a lot cheaper.
19:00Procedure is a lot cheaper over there as well.
19:02Are you bringing back any medication?
19:04No.
19:04All right, thank you, nice day.
19:09I'm going to offer a primary, can you set a duty portal?
19:1310-4.
19:17You're just corseting a cup.
19:18I don't know if you can get rid of it.
19:19That's it.
19:20You can do it yourself, this trash can over there.
19:23The vehicle caught her eye.
19:24It was sent in.
19:25The officer felt that how new the vehicle was
19:28to who was driving it and where it was going was a concern.
19:31Any alcohol, tobacco, params?
19:33No, none of that.
19:34Plants, meats, fruits?
19:35No, claro que no, no.
19:38All right, here we just look for any tampering
19:40on the bolts, nuts, plastics, anything that's
19:44been removed, messed with.
19:47But this looks pretty normal.
19:48Everything looks really dirty.
19:50Todo bien, ¿cómo?
19:51Todo bien, así tienes que esperar acá por favor, man.
19:53OK, ¿dónde?
19:54You can wait inside or outside.
19:56Oh, escuché, Bobby, you made me wait there.
19:58That's weird.
19:59You can wait over here, bro.
20:01¿Dónde nos pega el sol?
20:03When she came out of the car, she had two phones with her.
20:05Inside the vehicle, there was another phone that was broken.
20:07It looked like two other phone cases of purchased phones.
20:10That was one thing that kind of caught my eye.
20:14So we'll probably just get some stuff out,
20:17because that officer wants to run through the Z portal.
20:20I just have a mess in my truck.
20:22No bad stuff, no nothing.
20:25I went to go get my hair done with a really, really, really
20:28nice place that I go to.
20:30Mostly everyone goes to Mexico for beauty,
20:32which is surgeries, hair, Botox, lips, everything.
20:37Like, if you ask anyone, everyone comes for cosmetics.
20:42I just don't trust people here with my hair,
20:44so I'd rather go to Mexico.
20:45And it's only, like, two minutes away from the border,
20:47so it's safe.
20:48Not bad.
20:49No, this is bad that they're taking my truck.
20:51Well, they're taking time away from me,
20:53because I was supposed to go to the mall.
21:16The reason why we started asking about occupation
21:18was just the clothes that were in the vehicle
21:20compared to how clean the vehicle was,
21:22looking in the tire while it looked brand new.
21:24But as you can see, there was a mess that looked like
21:26someone might have been living in there or something,
21:28so it gives you an idea of how much they make
21:29or jobs they might work.
21:33They're just going to check out the car and the exit machine
21:35if there's any anomalies.
21:37If she's clear, she'll be good to go.
21:41My truck was pretty expensive.
21:43I got it here in Mercedes.
21:45It does kind of look weird, suspicious, you know,
21:48a $90,000 truck going into Mexico.
21:55The actually didn't show anything.
21:57It shows clear, so we're good with it,
21:59so we're just going to load everything back up.
22:00Just let it go down the road.
22:01I'm only guilty of having a mess, so...
22:04Can you at least help me put everything back?
22:07I can help out with this.
22:09My traveler is very compliant.
22:11They worked well and caused a lot of problems.
22:13I'm a little late, but it's okay, you know.
22:16You can't go against the law.
22:18The law always wins here.
22:19She was cleared to go and no problems in the house.
22:22I'm out of here.
22:23I'm going.
22:24Bye.
22:40Do they want to sit on the inside?
22:42I'll sit here.
23:02There's a center console heading west towards Calabria.
23:12Just drop the hammer.
23:13Yeah.
23:15Coming up.
23:20We received intel that there's a vessel that's leaving the west side of St. Thomas.
23:25It has approximately about 100 kilos on it,
23:27a center console style with two people on board that's going to be posing as fishing.
23:31So, we have to gain some distance.
23:33We're all the way in St. John.
23:35So, we're going to make a good run to see if we can stop that vessel before it makes it
23:39to Puerto Rico.
23:42Rocketmine 432, gate 5 for about three miles.
23:4510-4.
23:47Let me know if you get a visual.
23:52All I see is moving to the cruise ship.
23:59We're standing in front of the cruise ship.
24:01Yeah.
24:02Hey, keep in mind your distance with this cruise ship.
24:05Got it.
24:06Yeah, I think we got out of time.
24:08We got a body on the run, right?
24:11Yeah, you got it.
24:12I got visual.
24:14Two of them.
24:15So, one might be a heat boat, and one might have the boat gang.
24:19Okay.
24:19Which one are we going for?
24:21Ah.
24:24Um, I don't know, man.
24:26So, it's two outboard engines, seven-clock on 26-footers.
24:30Yeah, so level one looks like that.
24:32Okay.
24:34That's not a boat.
24:38That's not a boat.
24:40Outboard?
24:41I think so.
24:42Okay.
24:47Keep in mind, if that other boat calms up, you guys got to have eyes all around.
24:51Got it.
24:53Hold it, set a contact with you.
24:58Keep mixing rods on it.
25:01Let him go.
25:06Come down, come down.
25:08Hands up, hands up, hands up.
25:13Hands up.
25:15Hands up.
25:16You with no shirt.
25:18Move to the front of the boat.
25:24U.S. Customs, move to the front of the boat.
25:26Move to the front, sir.
25:27Keep moving.
25:27Keep moving.
25:28Keep moving.
25:29Turn around.
25:30Take toward the bow.
25:31Get on your knees.
25:34All right, ma'am.
25:35Put your hands on top of your head.
25:37Walk to the front of the boat.
25:42All right, I'm going over.
25:43All right, I'm going over.
25:43I got both.
25:49I'm set.
25:54Ma'am, stand up.
25:57Walk backwards towards me, okay?
26:00It's okay.
26:01Just keep walking back.
26:02All right, stop right there, okay?
26:04Just give me a hand real quick.
26:07We'll explain what's going on.
26:09Sit down right there, okay?
26:11You got her?
26:12Yeah, I got her.
26:14Stand up, sir.
26:15Stand up.
26:18And walk backwards with my voice.
26:19Very slowly.
26:20Don't fall.
26:34Right now, from San Tomas, from where I am.
26:40Yeah.
26:41To Pajardo.
26:43Pajardo, they go.
26:44Yeah.
26:51Who's back?
27:03Hey, thanks for going over and getting these two fests.
27:05I appreciate it.
27:11We've identified the truck that's in there as being stolen.
27:14So we're going to bring that.
27:15That's going to get back there now.
27:16And then we have a sister container that came in at the doors down.
27:18At the end down there, it's the same inconsistencies with the documentation.
27:22As soon as we do some work with this, we're going to pop down there and see what we have
27:25with that container.
27:35You can bring it back a little bit further, Paul.
27:37Yeah, put it sideways this way.
27:39You can work on getting the next one out then.
27:41So now you have another Mercedes.
27:43Yeah, another one I can't tell.
27:45Yeah, the one in front's a Honda.
27:48We're going to take that out and then we have our second container attributed to this
27:52that's down at the other door.
27:55Looking at that other container, we're probably going to find cars in it.
27:58We're going to go down and we're going to take a look and we'll see what we have down here.
28:03And there's your cars.
28:04So right now it's showing us
28:10two BMW cars.
28:11Let me just pull this down off the top of here.
28:14Watch, there's a lot of bugs on this thing.
28:17You have a BMW X7.
28:19These cars right now seem to be
28:21one of the highlights of stolen vehicles.
28:23This would be the VIN number that's
28:24of one of the vehicles here.
28:26So if we run that VIN number, chances are better than not,
28:28we'll probably see that it was stolen.
28:30Can you run that VIN number?
28:31Got it.
28:32On the park.
28:33Oh, here we go.
28:40So it comes back.
28:44He's a VIN number.
28:45It matches.
28:47This jet is stolen.
28:49Yeah, so the vehicle is stolen.
28:50It's a BMW.
28:51It's a 2021.
28:53It was stolen out of the state of New Jersey.
28:56That's where it's stolen from.
28:57Yeah.
28:58Do you know the date that it was stolen on that one?
28:59It should tell you.
29:00Yeah, it does.
29:02About two weeks ago.
29:04Looking at the indicators,
29:06this was not professionally packed.
29:07So they drive the car into the container,
29:10they get out of it,
29:11and they send it out as quickly as possible.
29:15This particular car sells for about $100,000.
29:17Top of the line, fully loaded.
29:19When it finally gets to its ultimate destination,
29:21which is West Africa,
29:22it will probably bring about $10,000 or $12,000.
29:24The person who stole the car probably received $500.
29:32We have our Homeland Security Investigations.
29:34They're going to be here on site with us.
29:36They're going to be looking for fingerprints.
29:38They're going to be looking for DNA.
29:39They're going to be looking for anything that's in that car
29:41that points to the bad guy.
29:45Usually, it's a transnational auto theft gang.
29:47We just locked up eight people a couple of weeks ago.
29:50As crazy as it sounds, it's happened in the past.
30:13This is an X-Ring machine
30:14that we use to scan merchandise coming from Mexico
30:18and detect any anomalies.
30:21Cars is a little bit different
30:23because it's a smaller vehicle
30:24and usually we'll have to get everything out
30:26so we can have an empty object to look at.
30:29When we are scanning 18-wheelers with pros,
30:32that makes it a little bit more challenging.
30:38These machines are very high-intensity.
30:41It can actually shoot through 16 inches of steel.
30:43It's one of the best tools that we have in support.
30:46Let's finish.
30:50And it looks like there's no anomalies on this one.
30:53Good to go.
31:04I have some anomalies here, bro.
31:07It's light, but I see something
31:09that I haven't seen before,
31:10so call it in.
31:12I don't know what it is.
31:20I'm going to run my canine on some pallets
31:32and see if we get anything.
31:52We do have a canine alert,
31:54so we're going to take a more intensive inspection
31:57on the commodity and the pallets.
32:05There we go.
32:07Right here.
32:08Right here.
32:15Right here.
32:16All the planks are for something.
32:19It's all the problem.
32:19It's all the...
32:20That's all the problem.
32:21That's all the problem.
32:36You can see a little bit there.
32:39Right there.
32:41All around.
32:42Right there.
32:44Right here.
32:55We are trying to carefully remove the mechanics
32:59from the pallet.
33:00We don't want any exposure.
33:07What?
33:08Yeah, there's some spilled out.
33:11It looks crystal-like.
33:15You have a...
33:16I'm going to start, please.
33:18Maybe we can scrape this up.
33:27Since we found narcotics in the shipment,
33:30we are spot-checking to make sure
33:32that there are no narcotics or anything
33:35commingled within the commodity itself.
33:39It's an all-hands-on-deck type of thing.
33:42I think they need to move.
33:43Okay.
33:53When narcotics are found,
33:55then the merchandise has tainted.
33:58So you can't introduce it to the economy.
34:01It will be destroyed.
34:04We had dismantled the first board.
34:06It took us roughly one hour to clear one board.
34:11There's 20 pallets in the truck.
34:13We're going to have to check all the pallets.
34:15And it's going to be very difficult
34:16to remove the packages from the board.
34:19So we call the contractor to assist us
34:22with the extraction of narcotics.
34:24They got, like, about an hour ETA.
34:27It could be a little bit past it.
34:28And we are anticipating a long day.
34:42Come on.
34:43Yours?
34:44Please go.
34:45Yes, please.
34:46I'm just going to do it right here in front of you.
35:07I got nothing on board right now.
35:09I'm cool with taking them out of the cuffs.
35:10Okay.
35:11Yeah, let's get you out of the cuffs.
35:12Okay, stand up.
35:13So you want to know why we stopped you, right?
35:15Guns out.
35:16So we have reports of some illegal activities
35:19going on right now.
35:20Okay.
35:21It fit the description of this vessel.
35:23Can you do me a favor?
35:24Yeah.
35:24Can I see some IV, please?
35:26Of course.
35:27If we have to possibly.
35:28All right.
35:29I'm going to walk up to the front
35:30and handle this, all right?
35:30Okay.
35:31Let's just sit back here.
35:32I'll go.
35:39All right.
35:41Cool, guys.
35:42Sorry for the mix-up.
35:44Here's your IDs.
35:45No problem.
35:46No problem.
35:47Hope we didn't scare you guys too bad.
35:49They did fit the description of the intel that we had.
35:52We went on board, looked around,
35:54found nothing that was illegal,
35:56and ran their names.
35:57No wants, no warrants.
35:59Realized that these were not the people
36:00we were looking for.
36:01All right.
36:07Mike, 843 is clear from the vessel stock.
36:10Good copy.
36:15Yo.
36:18All right, cool.
36:19All right.
36:21Thanks.
36:23Get for spawn until tomorrow.
36:25Oh, wait on that 10 minutes earlier.
36:28It is what it is.
36:29It is starting to make that stop, though.
36:31Good job, guys.
36:32That was good.
36:32That was a legit tactic.
36:34We'll run back.
36:36All right, let's do it.
36:38Are you ready?
36:39I'm good.
36:40Coming up.
36:41All right.
37:07The contractors are now doing the majority of the extraction,
37:11but we will still oversee the extraction of the narcotics.
37:20What we've determined is there are six boards on each pallet,
37:25and each board concealed eight packages,
37:30so a total of 48 packages on each pallet.
37:33It seems like each one is concealing narcotics.
37:39The small packages seem to be glued on one side,
37:42and it's very difficult to remove them.
37:57We have seen this type of concealment in the past.
38:00This type of concealment is what we refer to as very deep concealment,
38:05very difficult to find.
38:09Once we start with the extraction, we don't stop.
38:12We keep on going until the process is complete.
38:14This is going to be a very significant seizure.
38:26That's it.
38:28Tired?
38:29Relieved?
38:30It's almost over.
38:36We need to test the packages to verify the property of the narcotic.
38:44We're testing with our Gemini system.
38:53We're testing with our Gemini system.
39:01How many do you have more left?
39:05That's it.
39:06Perfect.
39:06Perfect.
39:08The total count was 960 packages.
39:13The total weight of 122 kilos.
39:19We will now transport the narcotics to our temporary vault in Hidalgo POE.
39:24It's a very significant seizure.
39:38Pretty logistically challenging for us to extract.
39:41You can only imagine the amount of work that the cartel is doing just to make sure that these drugs
39:45can make their way into the United States.
39:49We work very hard every day.
39:51And in this case, we've intercepted narcotics of methamphetamine.
39:54So it's a huge dent for the cartel.
40:15You can pop it right there.
40:16It's actually a Honda Civic.
40:17Not a CR-V.
40:25You can pop it right there.
40:27We did run the VIN number, we know it's stolen already, but we try to look to see if there's
40:31any additional things in there that we may be able to pick on.
40:33So now Homeland Security Investigations comes to do their fingerprinting.
40:38We're going to start off with this part, we're going to look for any evidence, bottles, anything
40:44that's possibly touched.
40:45We're going to look for fingerprints, possibly get a suspect out of it.
40:50So this is just fingerprint ink, so I'm going to put a little in here.
40:56Our main goal is to get the high end people, the people that are actually paying the street
41:02guys to steal the vehicles.
41:06We just check this on this side here.
41:09I got to say it looks like they did wear gloves or they were pretty clean and wiped it because
41:16I see no smudges or anything whatsoever on this.
41:21So we're just going to move on to the next call.
41:25We got a Mercedes AMG, I think it is 2023, so this is pretty new.
41:38This one has the touch screens, it's got a few smudges.
41:49This one, you can actually see like some ridges on it.
41:53So we'll take that, see if they're in the system and then come back and maybe get a suspect
41:57out of the situation.
41:59Yeah, just go through the inside, take a look at it, look underneath the seats, see
42:02if there's nothing in there, open up the engine compartment, take a look at that.
42:08The guys that are on the outbound team are looking for anything that's in there that
42:11might be evidentiary, either cash or guns or narcotics going out.
42:15If there is, they'll put that in evidence bag, they'll hand it over to the investigator.
42:19Right.
42:19A lot of times we'll find personal effects, we'll try to get those personal effects back
42:23to the owner of the vehicle.
42:29This is a family vehicle, it has typical family items in here.
42:35I got a kid's lunch box, we have some bedding.
42:43I mean, very typical stuff.
42:48Here's something a little different.
42:49What do you got?
42:50I got a whole bunch of keys.
42:52Oh yeah.
42:53We got the ShopRite tag, keys to the house, keys to everything.
42:57We got keys to everything.
42:59A whole bag of keys to probably whoever's vehicle this is.
43:03We'll try to get those back to the owner of the vehicle.
43:08So at this point, with the inspections completed, we did find a couple of things in the car that
43:13may assist in the investigation.
43:15Looks like it's all going to be part of the same case.
43:17Seems like it's the same bad actors that have stolen all these vehicles.
43:29We're good to go, all right?
43:30All right, man.
43:31In these cases, even though it might be something like auto theft,
43:34they're never really just involved in auto theft.
43:36They're involved in human smuggling.
43:37They're involved in drug trafficking.
43:39They're involved in a whole host of different things that pertain to criminals.
43:43It's just another way of making quick money.
43:45So it's a success story for us.
43:46The guys and gals that work for this team are very hungry.
43:49We do very, very well with the recovery of these stolen vehicles.
43:52And knowing that we're able to get that back
43:53and repatriate it back with the person that owns that car, it's huge.
44:01So tune in.
44:02And finally, this one of our community,
44:02this one that's been running.
44:02So we can help us enjoy theаем necessities and the true
44:04devotion that build multi design systems and learn the same way that we can engage.
