00:16At the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
00:25The officers of Customs and Border Protection
00:27fight a constant battle against drug smugglers
00:30working for the Mexican cartels.
00:37As evening draws near,
00:40Officer Orozco decides to search a bus.
00:43The vehicle isn't carrying any passengers,
00:46and the young driver is aroused suspicion.
00:50His story's pretty vague.
00:52He doesn't really know what's going on with his own bus,
00:54specifically the gas tank.
00:56He doesn't really know how to operate that door.
00:58So that's a pretty good indicator
00:59that he could just be hiding something there.
01:03The bus is x-rayed.
01:09There's definitely something there,
01:10because I can see the separation.
01:13Officers spot a faint shadow within the fuel tank.
01:22Specialized contractors are called in
01:24to drain the 185 gallons of fuel.
01:39Once empty, the tank is removed.
01:58And underneath...
01:59Wow.
02:00There we go.
02:01Oh, yeah.
02:02That's an access panel.
02:04They find a trap door.
02:07Now we just got to open it
02:08and see if there's anything in there.
02:21We have to do what we have to do.
02:41Progresso International Bridge.
02:44Progresso International Bridge.
02:55Thousands of U.S. citizens cross here every day
02:58to buy discounted medication in Mexico.
03:02Let me see the medication that you have.
03:03Anything in control that you have.
03:05No.
03:07Meds can be up to 70% cheaper over the border,
03:12but must always be declared upon return.
03:20A lot of people are going for the dentist medication,
03:24the doctors, pedicures, and tacos, really.
03:28That's all I keep hearing.
03:30Hello.
03:30Hello.
03:31U.S. citizens, guys?
03:32Yes, sir.
03:33Any medications y'all bringing back, like Tromadon?
03:35I know they tried to sell it to you over there.
03:37You didn't give in?
03:38No.
03:38No?
03:39I need a few officers to sit.
03:42Head down.
03:43It's late afternoon.
03:46Officer Zavala has just received intel
03:48about a man behaving suspiciously on the bridge.
03:53A traveler informed the CBP officer
03:55that they noticed that this male subject,
03:58before making entry,
03:59he was placing something inside his pockets,
04:01and it looked very strange.
04:03And he said, hey, I noticed that this man that's coming in
04:06and he looks like this.
04:07You guys might want to check him out.
04:11Soon, a man matching the description arrives
04:16and is brought in for inspection.
04:30Now we have this male subject.
04:32He's waiting to be inspected,
04:33and he appears to be very nervous.
04:42And officers quickly discover undeclared vials hidden in his pockets
04:47and in his boots.
04:56Synthetic testosterone is a steroid sometimes used to increase muscle mass
05:02and improve athletic and sexual performance.
05:07Since it's a controlled medication,
05:10failing to declare it at the border is a criminal offense,
05:14this man is now facing a hefty fine or even jail.
05:20What was your purpose for going to Mexico today?
05:23Theraputed to pick up, you know.
05:40At the San Ysidro Port of Entry,
05:43Officer Orozco is leading the search of a bus.
05:47That's an access panel.
05:48Now we just got to open it and see if there's anything in there.
05:53Officers have spotted an unusual panel
05:55on the underside of the fuel tank.
05:58It looks like you can actually see the weld marks.
06:00It looks like it's cut inside the tank.
06:03Leading them to believe it has been modified to hide narcotics.
06:09There's an access panel that you just use a screwdriver to take it off.
06:13Whatever they have in there, they can load it up, take it out.
06:23Wow, another one.
06:25It's like a second one.
06:27It's literally a tank within a tank.
06:28I've never seen that.
06:30That's crazy.
06:45Wow.
06:46Another one.
06:47Of course.
06:48There we go.
06:51Behind the second panel is what looks like a glass tank.
06:56Tank within a tank.
06:58Those are cellophane packages.
07:00That is definitely not supposed to be in there.
07:04Cellophane packages consistent with narcotics smuggling.
07:18Oh, that's so full.
07:21Oh, yeah, baby.
07:22There's a brick right there.
07:23Wow, that's heavy.
07:25Insane.
07:26I haven't seen packages this big in my entire career.
07:31Just throw it on top.
07:33There you go, 40.
07:3440.
07:35And as the packages are removed, it soon becomes clear that this is a huge and unprecedented load.
07:45In my experience, the size of the pricks and how well-packed they are.
07:51It's going to be hard narco, probably fentanyl, cocaine, something like that.
07:54That's great.
07:56That's exactly why we're here.
07:58What's the percentage of it?
08:0020%.
08:0020%?
08:01Yeah.
08:19At Progresso International Bridge in Texas.
08:23He's smuggling testosterone?
08:27Yeah, for a while.
08:29Officers are questioning a man, caught smuggling controlled steroid medication across the border.
08:36During the pat-down, he had undeclared testosterone vials in his boot area and his pocket areas.
08:43What was the purpose for...
08:44What are my supposed to do?
08:46Therapeutic.
08:47To pick up, you know.
08:50You traveling with somebody else, sir?
08:51Yes, sir.
08:52Who's that?
08:53My girlfriend.
08:54We were living together.
08:55The man says he uses the testosterone to boost his performance.
09:01Although small amounts can legally be brought across the border, the man has made a mistake by not declaring it.
09:10They're adults.
09:11They know what they're doing.
09:12When someone hides it or conceals it from CBP officers' inspection, at that point, it will be considered smuggling.
09:27Unfortunately, we cannot do that because of the method you were concealing.
09:31It's just cheaper down here.
09:33I know.
09:34He voluntarily says, I can go get the prescription from my vehicle.
09:37I explained to him that it's no longer valid because of the method he was smuggling that testosterone.
09:43Now that Officer Zavala is satisfied the man intentionally failed to declare the medication,
09:49she needs to decide what will happen to him next.
10:17He seems to have regretted the mistake he did, but we have to follow through.
10:21And as of now, it will lead into prosecution.
10:26Trust me, I won't try to save money again.
10:28Yeah.
10:29How much does it cost you in the U.S.?
10:31About $300.
10:33How much did you trade for the motor?
10:35$80.
10:38The man's attempt at saving money has come at a huge cost.
10:43Smuggling controlled medication can result in fines of thousands of dollars and up to 10 years in jail.
10:52Local police officers arrive and escort him for further questioning.
10:57Many people, they know they talk, they pass the word around.
11:02They may think it's easier just to smuggle it.
11:04We don't know if he has done it before.
11:06I mean, we don't know if it's the first time, but I'm sure he'll learn his lesson.
11:23In San Ysidro.
11:27Wow.
11:28Oh, of course.
11:30Here we go.
11:32Those are cellophane packages.
11:34That is definitely not supposed to be in there.
11:38Officers have found a secret compartment inside the fuel tank of a charter bus, loaded with suspicious packages.
11:46In my experience, it's going to be hard narco.
11:50Probably fentanyl or cocaine, something like that.
11:55I think we're done.
12:04Now it's empty.
12:07This is how it was secured to the glass tank with these wedges over here.
12:12They could have used makeshift hardware to secure it to the sides of the square.
12:17At first glance, it looks something like electric tape, but obviously they put some type of adhesive that would have
12:25allowed it to injure moisture conditions.
12:28The box total is 22.
12:3122.
12:3227.
12:3327.
12:3525.
12:3625.
12:37Let's put it on top.
12:39149, Barry.
12:42With 149 bundles recovered, this has been a highly successful search.
12:48I personally have not seen bundles that thick.
12:50It's a very good feeling.
12:52It's a good learning experience and what to look out for for other buses that are probably doing the same
12:56thing.
12:56That's probably why we haven't seen it.
12:58We haven't caught it.
12:59The bricks are immediately field tested by Officer Moreno.
13:05It's a white powdery substance.
13:08Its consistency is similar to cocaine.
13:20For this particular field test, it should be a mixture of blue and pink.
13:24It will indicate that it tested positive.
13:30And it does.
13:31We have a color affirmation, so pink and blue.
13:35The positive of cocaine.
13:39It is positive.
13:40We just confirmed it right now on the field test kit.
13:44The cocaine was likely shipped by one of Mexico's powerful drug cartels,
13:49who went at great lengths to engineer a hiding place that they hoped would evade detection.
13:57What I noticed after they took the tank out, this is just a piece of plywood.
14:02There should not be a piece of plywood under a gas tank.
14:05That's probably a fire hazard.
14:08But if you lift it, you can see tack welds right here.
14:14These welds, that's more than likely they cut the sheet metal off so they could access the access panel under
14:21the tank and get to the drugs.
14:23So they were going from underneath.
14:26These panels right here, they're very thin.
14:30You can kind of push on.
14:33So they more than likely just lifted it all the way down to access that panel underneath.
14:41And then they re-welded it back together.
14:44The huge load is weighing.
14:48It came back as all being cocaine.
14:51After weighing the 149 packages, we got over 221 kilos confirmed.
14:59The drugs have a street value of a staggering $6.5 million.
15:06The young driver, likely employed by the cartel, could be looking at 20 years behind bars.
15:16It's definitely the reason why I'm on this team.
15:19That's kind of my thing.
15:21I get the adrenaline rush out of finding dope.
15:24And I've been on this unit for about four years now.
15:28That's an amazing day.
15:29That's an amazing day.
15:30But you know what?
15:30We'll be back tomorrow to do it again.
15:32We'll be back tomorrow.
16:07AQI, referring a vehicle to lane 3.
16:11350 million people cross the U.S.-Mexico border each year.
16:26And some bring extra passengers along for the ride.
16:32But I've seen all kinds of animals.
16:34Recently, there was a monkey, other things like reptiles.
16:39I grabbed a sock once.
16:40I didn't know what it was.
16:41I picked it up, started moving.
16:42It was a couple of anacondas.
16:50Today, Officer Fuentes has stopped a family, attempting to cross back into the U.S. with a furry friend.
17:09Larry, the ferret, has been on a road trip to Mexico and is now returning home to the United States.
17:17Actually, that ferret from Atlanta, Georgia, so they came down, they went to Mexico, they did their business, they're coming
17:23back.
17:25Due to the threat of diseases, such as rabies, there are strict requirements for animals that cross the border.
17:33Those classed as wildlife rather than pets face even tougher rules.
17:40Officer Fuentes needs to establish whether ferrets are considered domestic or wild animals.
17:48We're looking to see if the actual animal is a type of animal that can be brought across, like a
17:54cat, like a pet, dog, or even a rabbit.
17:57I'm going to go check it out because I don't know what it is, really.
18:02Officers make a call to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
18:10If they decide Larry doesn't qualify to enter the U.S., the couple will have to turn back to Mexico.
18:20We look at this paperwork to see if all the meds are up to date, and we'll see what they
18:24say.
18:58We see that all the time where somebody might not have traveled for six months.
19:04We've got a warrant on the record, and for whatever reason, they don't think customs checks when they come back
19:11through.
19:13So we run them, the fingerprints, confirm the warrant, and then they're here overnight.
19:19When background checks indicate someone is wanted, officers immediately detain them.
19:37Today, at Progresso International Bridge, a man has been flagged as having an active arrest warrant.
19:49The officers notice the man has been injured.
19:53He's intoxicated, but we also know that he has blood coming from his nose.
19:56Do you have any injuries, sir, in your body or anything like that?
19:59The shoulder band is over there.
20:01Right here?
20:01Your left?
20:03This one right here?
20:04Okay.
20:04What happened to your nose?
20:05You're bleeding.
20:06Nothing.
20:08Since they don't have any information about the man's alleged crime, Officer Contu is assigned to investigate.
20:16Fingerprints confirms if that's the person we were looking for in that.
20:21It will show that he has an outstanding warrant on his print, too.
20:25But in order to ensure they have the right person, he will need to be identified.
20:31What's going to happen right now?
20:32I'm going to take your finger prints.
20:35It's fine, bro.
20:36I don't know what's going on.
20:38Like I said, I was trying to cross back after eating.
20:41And that's all.
20:43Yeah.
20:48We're not going to have any problems, right?
20:49No, bro.
20:51I haven't.
20:52I haven't done it, bro.
20:53I'm just asking.
20:53I'm hungry.
20:55He claims to have crossed the border for a meal and appears to have returned intoxicated.
21:03Let me take your prints first, man, so I can put you in the cell.
21:05What's my reasoning?
21:07Let me take your prints so I can put you in the cell.
21:10The suspect refuses to have his fingerprints taken.
21:14Because I don't know what's going on, actually.
21:15I'm trying to cross the border and I'm normally...
21:18Come on, man.
21:19Nothing, nothing, man.
21:20Come on.
21:21Come on.
21:23Come on, man.
21:28I just need to take your prints.
21:29That's it.
21:29Okay.
21:36You're going to take your prints or not?
21:37Yeah, I'm going to go on.
21:40Well, you don't let me explain to you.
21:41Okay, go ahead.
21:42I'm trying to...
21:44I need to take your prints to make sure if it's you that want it or not want it.
21:48I need to take your prints first before anything else.
21:50I need to take your prints to make sure if it's you that want it or not.
21:51I need to take your prints to make sure if it's you that want it or not.
21:51If you're going to be not letting me, then you can stay here until you're ready.
21:55Okay.
21:57Come on.
21:59I need to take your prints.
22:03Okay.
22:16I need to take your prints.
22:20I need to take your prints.
22:26Come on.
22:26because they're accompanied by a ferret.
22:30Oh, that's so cute.
22:31Does he have a name?
22:32Larry.
22:33Larry?
22:36Officer Fuentes is awaiting confirmation
22:39from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
22:41that ferrets are classed as domestic pets.
22:45If not, then Larry will be considered a wild animal
22:49and is likely to be refused entry.
22:53If it's kind of like a, I would say, I shouldn't say exotic,
22:57but like not a very usual animal.
22:59Unfortunately, some people, they try to go into Mexico,
23:02they try to come back.
23:03Well, that's a problem.
23:05We have to pick those animals up.
23:11As he waits for an answer on Larry's status,
23:14Officer Fuentes checks the couple's other paperwork.
23:24They had all their papers.
23:26They have the vet papers from this side,
23:28all the rabies vaccine.
23:29All the meds are up-to-date.
23:32Soon, Fish and Wildlife calls back.
23:35All right, thank you.
23:36They confirm that ferrets are classed as domestic pets.
23:41Okay, check one.
23:42Ferrets are good to go.
23:50Larry is now free to pass back into the U.S.
23:56We don't get a lot of ferrets around here.
24:00I've been here for a while.
24:02I've been like 31 years,
24:03and it's probably my third ferret, actually.
24:06That's pretty neat.
24:07I've been here for a while,
24:08You're stuck.
24:09I'm stuck.
24:09And it's all��� from you.
24:34I don't know if I was sleeping.
24:36No, no, no, no.
24:38Come on, come on.
24:39The suspect is intoxicated and has so far refused
24:43to have his fingerprints taken.
24:46I need to take your prints to make sure if it's you
24:49that want it or not want it.
24:51If you're going to be not letting me,
24:53then you can stay here till you're ready.
24:56Until he has his prints, Officer Cantu
24:58is unable to confirm whether the man is definitely
25:01the person named on the warrant.
25:05So you're going to do it, yes or no?
25:06Yes, sir.
25:07OK, come on.
25:08I don't need to do it.
25:09I'm trying to go home, like I said.
25:10OK.
25:11Right here, left hand.
25:15Come on, man.
25:18Relax your hands.
25:20Step back a little bit.
25:21Sure.
25:23Look at the camera.
25:24Sure.
25:36So it's going to take about 20 minutes for me to confirm
25:38if it's you or not, all right?
25:41Do you know you have anything pending, man, anywhere?
25:44I don't.
25:45You don't?
25:46You've been arrested lately?
25:48No.
25:49You have no idea.
25:50You don't have court pending.
25:51You don't have anything pending.
25:52Any charges?
25:54No arrest lately?
25:56From my personal self?
25:57No, sir.
25:58I'll let you know as soon as I know.
26:00OK.
26:02Officer Kantu soon hears back from McAllen PD.
26:06The fingerprints were a match.
26:09The subject has five outstanding warrants for,
26:11one for methamphetamine, hydrocannabis,
26:15synthetic cannabis, possession of dangerous drugs,
26:20and possession and delivery.
26:23So five outstanding warrants at this time.
26:27If McAllen PD did confirm,
26:28that we'll be coming and picking up the subject.
26:32Despite the man's claims of ignorance,
26:34it appears he's been arrested multiple times
26:37for a variety of drug offenses.
26:41Just so you know,
26:42McAllen PD is coming out here.
26:44What's my charge?
26:45You have five outstanding warrants.
26:47I have warrants?
26:49Yes.
26:49My name?
26:50What are the warrants for?
26:53Uh, there's five different ones, man.
26:56Myself?
26:56Yes.
26:57My name?
26:58For methamphetamine, cannabis.
27:01For my name?
27:02For your name.
27:02I have warrants.
27:03Your prints.
27:04So, I mean, if you have an attorney, whatever,
27:06you can deal with that when you get over there.
27:09I'm just letting you know what's going to happen.
27:10OK.
27:12Most of these guys, they all claim the same thing.
27:14They have no idea.
27:15They had a pending warrant.
27:17Some say they weren't notified.
27:19They didn't get a letter for whatever reason.
27:22But some will admit, some won't.
27:24Like this guy, he's just plain saying.
27:26He has no idea what happened.
27:28McAllen Police Department arrives
27:30to take the man into custody.
27:32Good night, my son.
27:33All right, man.
27:34Have a good night.
27:34Good luck, man.
27:40He will appear before a judge in the morning,
27:42where he'll have to answer for his alleged crimes.
27:58Drug cartels employ all kinds of techniques
28:01to evade detection.
28:03Yes, two bravos tangles.
28:06But their most common strategy
28:08is to conceal narcotics deep within a vehicle.
28:13Algo para declarar?
28:14Armas, drogas, municiones?
28:15No.
28:15OK.
28:16Gracias.
28:19To try to catch them in the act,
28:21tonight, Officer Sarayan and his team
28:24are conducting an operation,
28:26randomly selecting cars for detailed inspections.
28:32This is a great operation to do
28:33because people don't expect it.
28:35If they see any sort of signs of tampering
28:37or a person looks a little suspicious,
28:39a random x-ray screening to see if there's
28:41any sort of contraband in the car.
28:44We've caught a lot of people doing this,
28:45and I think it's a great operation.
28:48I love it.
28:50It's 8.30 in the evening,
28:51and a vehicle arriving from Mexico has been stopped.
28:58Be careful because the side of the car stinks.
29:01Like, like what?
29:02Like?
29:03Like, like drugs or?
29:04No.
29:05Just smells?
29:05I wish it was drugs.
29:06Oh, it just smells like bad?
29:07It smells like .
29:10With a strange smell coming from within the car,
29:13Officer Sarayan questions the driver and passenger.
29:18What were you doing over there in Mexico?
29:20How old were you there for?
29:23They're teenagers,
29:25who claim to have been visiting relatives.
29:29How old were you?
29:30A girlfriend.
29:31How old were you?
29:33How old were you?
29:33A year?
29:34A year together?
29:34A year together?
29:36A year together?
29:36A year together?
29:37He was a little shaky with me
29:38when I asked him how long they've been together.
29:40He had to look at her for, like, approval.
29:42Kind of suspicious.
29:43And also, I just got a red flag from the girl.
29:45She went like this.
29:46Like, for me, like, how I see that is,
29:48does she not want to be seen with him?
29:50Is that really her boyfriend?
29:51I always say, if you lie, you can lie about anything,
29:53because that's just how people work.
29:55What's it?
29:55You take something for me?
29:56Do you have drugs or ammunition in the car?
29:58What's it?
29:59The car will be searched.
30:02Let's leave the keys.
30:04What's it?
30:05What's it?
30:08What's it?
30:09Okay.
30:10Okay.
30:10They're waiting inside.
30:11Okay.
30:12Oh.
30:13They're waiting inside the office.
30:14What's it?
30:15Oh, this car smell.
30:19Oh, my God.
30:23It smells like Ryanette.
30:25It smells like something died in that car.
30:28With the powerful stench making it difficult
30:30to even inspect the vehicle,
30:33Officer Diaz arrives to assist.
30:37This is probably one of the stinkiest cars I've ever been inside.
30:44It got like a rotten egg smell to it.
30:48The smell is there.
30:50I just cannot pinpoint where it's coming from.
30:55Honestly, it smells like a public bathroom.
30:58And this smells is not something normal.
31:03Although there's nothing illegal about the smell,
31:06officers want to identify the source
31:08in case there's an illicit explanation.
31:12It's definitely on the chemical side,
31:14but at the same time, it feels organic.
31:17Officer Diaz questions the couple
31:20to see if they can shed any light on the mysterious odor.
31:25Are you the ones with the black Cadillac already?
31:28I just need you to stay seated for a moment.
31:30But their answers only add to his suspicions.
31:34They say that what are you talking about?
31:36The car doesn't smell, which it really does.
31:39The smell is definitely coming from the driver's side.
31:45So many times.
31:46The car is so söng.
31:59There's no milk to go for the car,
32:01I gotta get him.
32:05It's so tender.
32:05Make him!
32:10You got this sort of moinsidency pole.
32:13Each year, half a million firearms are smuggled from the United States into Mexico, where
32:20the laws on gun ownership are much stricter.
32:24Going outbound towards Mexico, we're going to be looking for firearms, ammunitions.
32:28We might have a camper full of stuff all the way to the top.
32:32So our officers have to check every single thing, make sure they're not hiding in some
32:37certain places.
32:37You know, our officers work hard, and they try to check thoroughly everything.
32:41Smuggled firearms typically go straight into the hands of the cartels, and it's become
32:47such a problem, the Mexican border has earned the nickname, the Iron River.
32:58This evening, Officer Garcia is carrying out checks on a driver with a heavily loaded van.
33:05We do, for sure, need to check them out.
33:07So we're hoping to find anything, firearms, ammunition, ammo, anything that we can find
33:12that we can seize.
33:14As the officers run items through the X-ray scanner, the driver appears nervous.
33:43Nothing is standing out, but Officer Garcia still has to work his way to the bottom.
33:50Negative on these.
33:55With so many items in the van, a canine is brought in to speed up the search.
34:10We had our boxes lined up, and we let our canine take a little whack at it and see what
34:15they
34:15could maybe hit on something.
34:19The dog begins to show interest, and alerts on a bag by sitting down.
34:31All right, let's see what we got.
34:37There it is.
34:40So right here, you have like a barrel, one barrel, and then right about here, you have
34:50one pistol, and you have a scope right here.
34:53The bag is full of weapon parts.
34:56Officers immediately detain the driver.
35:08In Hidalgo, Texas, officers Sarian and Diaz are investigating a foul-smelling car.
35:21Honestly, it smells like a public bathroom, and this smells is not something normal.
35:27With no obvious source of the odor.
35:31It's definitely on the chemical side, but at the same time, it feels organic.
35:37Officers now suspect it may have been deliberately planted in order to mask the smell of narcotics
35:43from the canines.
35:47They usually try to deter on the narcotics itself.
35:50They'll wrap it in the dryer sheets and stuff like that, and pour maybe food on it, something
35:56like that, just to deter the dogs from the narcotics.
36:02But these tactics rarely work.
36:10The canine unit arrives to check over the vehicle.
36:28Although it doesn't indicate, the dog shows interest in the dashboard.
36:33We're going to try to get it to the x-ray to see if there's something inside the frame
36:38or something hiding.
36:41The car is sent through the x-ray.
37:05The x-ray was pretty clear.
37:07There was nothing organic or nothing hidden within the frame of the vehicle.
37:11After doing my physical inspection, after knowing the canine was negative as well, and taking
37:16it to the x-ray machine, I'm pretty satisfied with the result that there was nothing there.
37:22Although the vehicle is clear of any contraband, Officer Diaz is convinced it may have been a
37:28test in an attempt to literally throw officers off the scent.
37:35I do believe that this was just a test run to see if we were going to inspect the vehicle
37:39in what areas
37:40we were going to be searching.
37:42Over my five-year career, I never have anything like that, with that smell that strong.
38:03Bravo, give us one mic.
38:05At the Camino Real International Bridge.
38:08So right here, we have like a barrel, one barrel, and then right about here, we have one pistol.
38:19A driver with a van heavily loaded with goods has been detained after a scan of a bag revealed
38:26a gun.
38:28We're going to go take it inside and verify everything.
38:34Yes, sir.
38:36The gift, though, keeps on giving.
38:43Officer Garcia inspects the contents of the bag more closely.
38:55Officer one.
39:05This one looks like it's wrapped in a jean.
39:12This one looks like it's wrapped in a jean.
39:37The search reveals a small pistol and the disassembled parts of a rifle in a clear attempt to conceal it.
39:47Rem oil, firearm lubricant.
39:49Nice.
39:52The actual official count for what we see today is one rifle, one pistol, and one scope.
39:59The officers checked that the guns aren't stolen.
40:03What would you say, though?
40:04Your one brand of this is.
40:07And confirmed their street value.
40:10So as of right now, the guns aren't reported stolen.
40:14This rifle has a street value of about $600, $700 with the revolver.
40:20The price on this one is $110.
40:25It's likely that the man was trying to sell the weapons on the black market in Mexico, where he could
40:31make double their value.
40:33Instead, he is now looking at a minimum of five years in jail.
40:40He took a seizure.
40:41We got weapons.
40:42We caught him with weapons going into Mexico.
40:44It feels good taking these guns out of the street.
40:47We might have saved somebody's life, somebody that might have been killed.
40:50You know.
41:19This is a totalowiec.
