U.S. Border Patrol agents in Southern Arizona, assisted by K9 sniffer dogs, have arrested suspected drug smugglers at two immigration checkpoints along the border.

The two suspects, both U.S. citizens according to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) media release, were attempting to smuggle a large quantity of drugs across the border on the afternoon of Sept. 14. The dogs alerted their human counterparts to the presence of narcotics.
