Drug smugglers use makeshift ferry to move marijuana

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (KXAN) — In an effort to smuggle illegal drugs across the Rio Grande, some suspects took to constructing a makeshift ferry to get their items across.
The Customs and Border Patrol says on Thursday morning, agents working in the Brownsville area saw a red Ford Ranger on the Mexico riverbank being loaded onto a floating trailer and made its way to the northside of the riverbank. The truck was then unloaded and the driver took off.
