On August 11, Swanton Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended two individuals after they illegally entered the United States in an extremely dangerous and reckless manner by driving a vehicle down active railroad tracks in Vermont.
 
Thanks to swift coordination by Swanton Sector dispatchers, agents intercepted the vehicle and arrested both occupants. Further investigation revealed that the occupants were citizens of the United Kingdom who are suspected of being associated with an organized criminal fraud group. Both individuals were charged and convicted for illegal entry and are awaiting removal proceedings. The vehicle was also seized for forfeiture.
 
This incident exemplifies the very real threats posed by people with malicious intent who attempt to illegally enter our country to exploit and victimize our citizens. Scams, cons, theft, and fraud are just some examples of what their possible intensions may have been.
 
We strive for what the American people deserve, a safe and secure border.
