Tijuana, Baja California.- In coordination with members of the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM), elements of the National Guard detained a person at the El Chaparral checkpoint who intended to enter the country for 46 thousand dollars, equivalent to 934 thousand pesos Mexicans, without the documentation proving their legal origin.
It was during the random inspection of prevention, security and surveillance in the border customs section, where elements of the National Guard located a vehicle coming from San Diego, California, bound for Tijuana.
During the review of said unit, the uniformed officers detected that in the passenger door there was a package of bills, of foreign origin and of low denomination. Given this situation, the national guardians requested the documentation for their legal entry.
