Mexicali-(MT) A U.S. Border Patrol agent in California is still trying to explain what happened after he stopped three young boys driving a pick-up truck along a remote highway near the Mexican border city of Mexicali last weekend. He suspected they were carrying a load of pot, and decided to check the vehicle, handcuffing the suspects, placing them into his own squad car and then returning to the suspicious truck to search for evidence.

But in a scene right out of a movie, one of the shacked lads somehow managed to squirm his way into the front seat, put the gear into drive and zoom away as the stunned officer stood staring in surprise at the brazen getaway.

“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 explains. Mexican police later found the abandoned cop car in a remote area near the border.

The desert spot is the frequent scene of cat-and-mouse-like skirmishes between drug smugglers, illegal aliens and American agents.
