Stolen equipment smuggled to Mexico
Texas DPS investigators report heavy equipment thefts moving to Mexico from Houston Brownsville and border routes. They estimate 6000 vehicles a year leave illegally with only about 200 recovered. Theft rings vary from 2 to 10 people and involve cross border drivers. Corruption and weak title checks complicate tracing though occasional cross border cooperation yields results.
