Border guards in the U.S. say they foiled an attempt by a Canadian man trying to sneak into the U.S.
Last Sunday, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents spotted a man riding an inbound freight train travelling through the rail tunnel from Windsor to Detroit.
They called Canadian Pacific Railway and asked officials there to stop the train.
It turns out London Police wanted the 33-year-old on weapons charges. Officers in London had a warrant for his arrest.
"It is extremely dangerous to enter the United States illegally, particularly through the train tunnel," said Chief Patrol Agent Robert Danley. "Our outstanding relationships with our foreign law enforcement and CP partners were key in bringing this situation to a safe and effective law enforcement resolution."
The man was processed for removal from the U.S. and turned over to the Canada Border Services Agency.
