U.S. Border Patrol seizes weapons along Interstate 10

INDIO, Calif. (KESQ) - The U.S. Border Patrol is cracking down on weapons trafficking in the Coachella Valley.

Agents from the Indio Border Patrol Station posted a photo on social media Tuesday of the latest contraband seizure from the El Centro sector.

Agents intercepted four AK-style rifles, eight handguns, pistol magazines, and 50 rounds of ammunition along Interstate 10. A post on the seizures did not say exactly where the bust happened.

The Border Patrol also said in the post, "The cartels are trying to arm up like it's Call of Duty, but they forgot we're playing Border Patrol: Ultimate Shutdown Edition."
