Border agents dismantle a weird-looking drug catapult used to toss marijuana over the fence between Mexico and the US.
A bizarre contraption caught the eye of federal agents patrolling along the US-Mexico border in Arizona last week. After seeing several people on the Mexican side running away from the approaching patrol, agents discovered a catapult attached to the southern side of the fence, as well as two bundles of marijuana nearby.
The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency shared a photo of the catapult on Tuesday. It’s a strange » Mad Max « -style contraption made of metal parts and springs with a rope attached to pull it down for loading and flinging.
