In all, agents recovered 28 rifles, one handgun, 30 high-capacity magazines and more than 2,200 rounds of ammunition of various calibers, the department reported.
United States Border Patrol agents made a large gun bust in early July, seizing a cache of weapons and ammunition that they found hidden inside of a vehicle in Indio. The seizure happened late July 1, according to agents from the Indio Station, who pulled a car over on I-10 near Chiriaco Summit, according to a statement from USBP.
The driver, an unidentified man, was arrested. 'Smugglers are all cut from the same dirty cloth. They'll do anything for profit, including trafficking children, drugs, or in this case, weapons headed to Mexico,' said Gregory Bovino, El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent.'Conversely, our agents are forged differently — winners, ready to take it to criminals anywhere, anytime, anyplace, as this excellent arrest indicates.
