Two California women were arrested as they attempted to cross the border
from San Ysidro to Tijuana on Saturday with approximately $2.5 million
in cash hidden in their car, Mexican authorities said.
The women tried
to smuggle the cash across the border in an SUV with California license
plates about 10 p.m. Saturday, authorities said Monday. Their names were
not released.
Mexican border agents sent the pair to a secondary
inspection after they went through the “nothing to declare” lane.
The
cash was discovered during a search of the vehicle, according to Isaías
Bertín Sandoval, Baja California’s secretary of federal public safety.
Mexican law requires people crossing the border with more than $10,000
in cash to declare the amount to authorities.
