LAREDO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Field Operations officers at the Laredo Port of Entry this week apprehended a local man with a pending felony warrant regarding charges of aggravated robbery-other dangerous weapon.
“Our frontline officers maintain their resolute vigilance on a 24/7 basis and that dedication and attention to detail resulted in the apprehension of a local man on a significant violent crime warrant,” said Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. “
The apprehension occurred on Monday, July 16 at the Gateway to the Americas Bridge. CBP officers conducted a primary examination on a male pedestrian arriving from Mexico with no entry documents and referred him to secondary for further inspection due to a possible match to an outstanding warrant. CBP officers conducted a fingerprint check and utilizing national law enforcement databases confirmed his identity as 33-year-old Miguel Angel Sanchez, a U.S. citizen wanted by the Laredo Police Department on outstanding felony warrants for aggravated robbery-other dangerous weapon and theft. CBP officers turned Sanchez over to the custody of Laredo Police officers for adjudication of the warrants.
