Mexican Women Smugglers Caught With Vast Loot
In San Diego on June 15, about seventy five alleged smugglers, mostly Mexican women, were arrested attempting to cross the border with thousands of dollars in loot from Tijuana. They are detained at the border army camp. A May 19 seizure yielded 50,000 to 75,000 dollars worth of goods later sold to tourists as part of an aborted cleanup. In El Paso, an international court at Chamizal issued a compromise ruling on property valued at seven million dollars, granting Mexico part and El Paso part, with both the United States and Mexico dissenting.
