EL PASO, Texas (AP) - Two teenagers have been arrested in the last week after customs officials found more than 200 pounds of marijuana hidden in their vehicles at an international crossing from Mexico, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials announced Friday.
A 17-year-old El Paso boy was arrested Jan. 20 after customs agents found 48.3 pounds of marijuana hidden in the bumper of a 1997 Mitsubishi he was driving. And on Wednesday, a 16-year-old boy from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, across the Rio Grande from El Paso, was arrested when agents found 164 pounds of marijuana hidden in the rear quarter panels of a Chevrolet Avalanche he was driving. Both teenagers were entering El Paso from Mexico when they were arrested.
Both teenagers, who were not identified by customs officials, were turned over to the El Paso Police Department for prosecution.
