The feds say the the build up of agents along the border is paying off.
Authorities say there’s been a spike in seizures of guns and cash along the Mexican border, the Associated Press reported.
Specifically, agents seized about 600 illegal weapons at the border from March through September, an increase of more than 50 percent over the same period last year, AP reported.
Agents also seized more than $40 million in cash during that same period. That was almost double the amount compared to a year ago, AP reported.
Authorities believe the seizures represent only a fraction of the guns and cash that goes undetected. In other words, there’s a lot more work to be done.
