Borderforce USA: The Bridges - Season 1 - Eps 5: The Decoy
Officers become suspicious when they pull over a businessman from Mexico who is making a rare journey to the United States in a brand new car. On the Juarez Lincoln International Bridge in Laredo a man is detained after a canine alerts to drugs in a car. But why is he carrying such a small amount? Is it because he is a decoy for a cartel and trying to draw attention away from a bigger shipment of narcotics crossing the bridge at the same time? And an innocent pedestrian gets more than he bargains for when he is mistaken for a wanted man who officers believe is armed and dangerous.
