CBP officers find woman in SUV’s gas tank at California-Mexico border crossing

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered a woman being smuggled inside an SUV’s gas tank last week at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, according to court records.

While CBP officers regularly find drugs hidden inside the gas tanks of vehicles, it’s much less common — if not unprecedented — to find a person concealed inside one.
