Two men are in custody after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found a 17-year old hidden in the dashboard of a car.

The incident occurred at about 8:30 a.m. Monday at the Calexico downtown port of entry. A 28-year old man and his 21-year old male passenger entered the port and were referred to secondary inspection. Officers discovered the teen hiding in a dashboard compartment. Record checks revealed the teen, a Mexican citizen , had previously been apprehended in March of this year when he was found to be using fraudulent documents at the Otay Mesa port of entry. The driver and passenger , both U.S. citizens , were arrested and booked into Imperial County Jail.
