US Customs and Border Protection agents have busted an illegal immigrant trying to sneak into the US inside a gas tank.The 20-year-old driver was then sent to a secondary inspection where the person was found hidden inside a built-in compartment in the tank.
Border agents found the person inside a driver’s gas tank while undertaking a vehicle inspection at the San Ysidro port of entry in California.A picture of the crazy discovery showed the person wedged into the tiny space next to parts of the underside of the SUV. The Mexican national sustained serious burns and had to be taken to a nearby hospital for treatment following the smuggling attempt.“This case underscores the dangerous and inhumane tactics employed by smugglers who prioritize profit over human lives,” said San Ysidro Port Director Mariza Marin. “Thanks to the vigilance and professionalism of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, this individual was located and removed from a life-threatening situation, subsequently receiving the medical attention they needed. CBP remains committed to disrupting smuggling operations that endanger the public.” The driver was arrested and booked into the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego where he awaits charges.
