“Three men affiliated with an Arizona militia group were charged in federal court with trying to replicate a tactic long used by smugglers: Stealing drugs from people who have already sneaked them across the Mexican border. However, it turned out that the men took drugs from an SUV that federal agents had stocked with cocaine as part of a sting operation, court records state. Authorities said it was one of three attempted thefts prompted when an undercover FBI officer offered tips to the trio’s leader about drugs coming into the country and drug money headed into Mexico, authorities said.”
