You don’t see this every day…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Border patrol agents at the\u00a0Texas-Mexico border\u00a0made two interesting finds while searching vehicles last weekend, resulting in the arrests of three people in two separate incidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Fox News<\/a>, a 20-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, both U.S. citizens, were crossing into the United States through the\u00a0Anzalduas International Bridge\u00a0when their vehicle was flagged by CBP agents for a second inspection on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon investigation, officials discovered a spider monkey stowed inside a backpack in the vehicle. The two individuals were taken into custody and the monkey was transported to Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora protects certain types of monkeys and their importation is regulated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to CBP officials. However, monkeys are not permitted to be imported as pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the same day, CPB agents at the Hidalgo International Bridge stopped a 68-year-old Mexican citizen<\/a> crossing into the U.S. for a second inspection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agents discovered approximately 73 pounds of alleged cocaine stashed inside the man\u2019s Ford Explorer. Authorities estimate the alleged narcotics have a street value of approximately $980,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
