South Texas Border Patrol agents are asking for the public’s help in identifying the sources of homemade road spikes used by smugglers to flatten the tires of pursuing law enforcement vehicles.
In 2009, in the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley sector, the homemade spikes were used 15 times, damaging 33 vehicles. There was only one incident the previous year, and there have already been four in 2010.
In some cases, the spikes, which often look like nails welded together, were put out in anticipation of law enforcement responding to smugglers. The Border Patrol says none of the incidents have resulted in injuries, but the spikes pose a threat to agents and private citizens.

Three Central California teenagers are under arrest for allegedly impersonating police officers and trying to pull over drivers near Manteca.
Police say the three were arrested after motorists reported a pink Buick Century with flashing red and blue lights attempting to pull them over Tuesday night. In one case, one of the fake officers took the driver’s license of a motorist back to his car, then returned it and allowed the motorist to leave.
Police later arrested 19-year-old John Meza, 18-year-old Alex Chavez and 18-year-old Gregori Martinez. They face charges of impersonating a police officer, false imprisonment and conspiracy.
