Not even 39-foot-high speed boats with 1,200 horsepower is enough for Border Patrol to hunt down all smugglers along the U.S. coast 36 miles north of Tijuana, Mexico, Fox News reports.
Agents are now asking for local residents to help in the hunt.
“We are actively pursuing this and we are asking for the public’s help because we can’t be everywhere,” agent Edward Cleary said during a Del Mar City Council meeting on Jan. 14, according to The Coast News.
The feds need more eyes looking out for boats that drop off drugs along the coast to getaway trucks, Fox News wrote.
