Authorities were suspicious because of the van’s markings and window coverings. In another border bust, officials seize 215 pounds of fentanyl pills.

A man driving a fake delivery van near the Mexico border last week was arrested by authorities after they discovered nine illegal immigrants hiding in the back, officials in San Diego County said Dec. 26.

Agents from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Campo Station spotted the white van with delivery service logos driving toward Tierra Del Sol Road near Highway 94 on Dec. 17 and were suspicious because the van’s logos and window coverings were inconsistent with those of genuine delivery vans, officials said in a statement.
