Handcuffed kids steal U.S. Border Patrol car - drive back to Mexico


Three Mexican minors detained in California on suspicion of smuggling drugs stole a U.S. Border Patrol car while still wearing handcuffs and drove it back across the border to Mexico.

A Border Patrol agent…had handcuffed them and put them in his patrol car while he searched their truck.

“As the agent was doing his search, he left the vehicle running and the keys in the ignition, so one of the lads, still wearing handcuffs, grabbed the steering wheel and they headed back to Mexico,” a police spokesman said.

Mexican police used a helicopter to locate the patrol vehicle in a remote agricultural area near the border.

I think they gave it back.
