Border agents bust air cannon drug smuggling operation

Two underage American citizens in Naco, Arizona have been apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents for being on the receiving end of an air cannon drug smuggling operation from Mexico.

According to an agency news release, border agents on Wednesday noticed what appeared to be drugs being launched from just over the border in Mexico. The federal agency used multi-surveillance programs to monitor the air movements. They then sent two agents to where the items had landed on the U.S. side of the border.
