A 20 year-old man was arrested for trying to smuggle several assault rifles into Mexico.
Border Patrol officers confiscated 13 assault rifles in a truck at the Hidalgo International bridge over the weekend. Officials say they found the weapons in the gas tank with several ammunition magazines inside. The suspect was transferred over to I.C.E. agents for further investigation.
