NEW YORK, United States (CMC) – The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency says officers at the Cannon Corners, Champlain border crossing in upstate New York have arrested a Canadian citizen for attempting to conceal an illegal Vincentian national in the spare tire compartment of a vehicle.
On Friday, CBP said agents detected inconsistencies during a driver’s inspection on Thursday that led to further inspection of the vehicle.
