According to a press release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, CBP officers encountered a man who gave a false name at the Peace Bridge International Border Crossing. After some investigation, officers determined that the 19-year-old’s car, a dark-colored 2012 Scion, had been reported stolen in Buffalo.
After this determination was made, the man was taken to the second inspection area at the Peace Bridge, where he was detained until officers from the Buffalo Police Department arrived at the border.
