AJO, AZ -- U.S. Border Patrol agents, using a mobile surveillance system, recently spotted cattle rustlers trying to steal livestock in a remote location near Ajo, according to a Wednesday report.

Agents assigned to the Papago Camp, quickly responded and were able to prevent the theft.

The suspected thieves, who were on horseback, reportedly escaped to Mexico.

Border Patrol officials say use of Forward Operating Bases, like Papago Camp, allows agents to swiftly disrupt illegal activity in remote areas along the U.S./Mexico Border.
