Handcuffed kids steal patrol car

THREE Mexican children detained in California on suspicion of smuggling drugs stole a US Border Patrol car while still wearing handcuffs and drove it back across the border to Mexico.

 

Police in the Mexican border city of Mexicali said today that the three boys had been driving a pick-up truck on a remote Californian highway when a Border Patrol agent stopped them.

 

Suspicious they were carrying marijuana, he handcuffed them and put them in his patrol car while he searched their truck.

 

"As the agent was doing his search, he left the vehicle running and the keys in the ignition, so one of the lads, still wearing handcuffs, grabbed the steering wheel and they headed back to Mexico," a police spokesman said.

 

The Border Patrol, which plays cat and mouse around the clock with illegal Mexican migrants and drug traffickers, confirmed the vehicle was stolen in southern California on Sunday and driven over the border near Mexicali.

 

Mexican police used a helicopter to locate the patrol vehicle in a remote agricultural area near the border.

Ahhh! I was just there! The roads in Mexico must have torn up that car something bad.

 

I guess it's time for Border Patrol to get the cages that seperate the back from the front

seats installed in their cars... Police cars here have no inside handles in the back and steel mesh

to keep prisoners unable to leave!

What a dumbass, I would love to have seen the BPs face as they drove off. Some of those guys are real pricks!

And you know...they don't say if they actually found any pot in the truck...

Once the SPP comes into full force, driving back to Mexico wont help them much I suspect. ;-)
