Assault rifles and ammunition were stopped from getting into the wrong hands at the Hidalgo International bridge.
Eleven assault rifles and 12 high capacity ammo magazines were hidden in a truck that was heading into Mexico. Custom and Border Protection officials accuse the driver, a man from Edinburg, of trying to smuggle the weapons. The suspected smugglers along with the weapons were transferred into ICE custody.
