4 suspected of using spike strips in effort to disable Border Patrol vehicles in Van Nuys
Four people who allegedly used homemade spike strips in an effort to disable vehicles involving a federal immigration enforcement action in Van Nuys were arrested Tuesday.
According to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino, the suspects “attempted to impede & obstruct our efforts, using improvised devices aimed at disabling our vehicles.”
Bovino posted photos of the devices, which appeared to be either metal or rubber strips with protruding large nails. One photo shows the device embedded in a vehicle tire.
Bovino initially said three suspects were arrested, then later said a fourth person had been taken into custody.
The names of the people arrested were not released, but Bovino said all would face felony charges.
