Following
three nights of spotting illegal aliens crossing the border,
American Border Patrol's remotely operated Border Cam was instrumental
in capturing smugglers as they brought large bundles of drugs
into the U.S. in southeastern Arizona Wednesday night.
After spotting the smugglers ABP called
the U.S. Border Patrol and directed them to the aliens. At one
point an ABP employee met BP agents and pointed to the location
of the smugglers.
All of the smugglers were apprehended
and three large bundles were confiscated, according to the Border
Patrol.
After four nights of operation, the ABP
Border Cam has spotted a total of 36 illegal aliens and aided
in this drug bust. This compares to the Texas
Border Cam test that yielded ten arrests. The Texas test
used twelve cameras and operated for twenty seven days with 220,000
volunteers.
ABP's Border Cam is a part of Operation
B.E.E.F. [see this PDF document
and related
video], a project to "Tell The Truth About the Border."
ABP is currently seeking funding to expand the operation.
