Border Patrol: Armed bandits robbed 3 migrant groups in Otay Mountain wilderness [Breaking]
The most recent attacks occurred over a four-day period late last month, according to information the victims gave Border Patrol agents. On March 24, agents encountered five migrants who reported being robbed by bandits armed with at least one rifle and one pistol. The victims said the attackers demanded $1,000. When the victims said they didn’t have any money on them, the robbers took their cellphones. Agents reported seeing two potential suspects running south from the area.
Border Patrol officials said agents have recovered these three firearms recently in the Otay Mountain wilderness area. Later that same day, agents apprehended another group whose members recounted being beaten and robbed by two men. The victims said the bandits, both armed with pistols, held them up just after they’d crossed the border. They punched and kicked the victims, then took their cellphones and cash. They said the men tried to separate a female from the migrant group and take her back to Mexico, but failed to do so.
