Federal authorities are investigating after a car drove across the U.S.— Canada border illegally, by crashing through a Vermont man's yard.
Alain De La Bruere's home security cameras captured the incident Saturday morning as the car drove across the border from Stanstead, Quebec, and right into his yard.
"I just couldn't believe it. It's like it doesn't — I always look for wild game, it's always kinda neat to see the deer, different wild game crossing over but I never expected right at 10:30 in the morning, somebody trying to break through the border," De La Bruere said.
The Derby, Vermont, man was not home at the time it happened.
"I came home and then my neighbor David said you missed all the action," De La Bruere said.
The security cameras captured what appears to be a minivan drive up to the border on the Canadian side, then back up and move to another spot. Video showed at least three people get out of the car, attempting to move a granite block, which De La Bruere said is bolted into the ground. While that attempt was unsuccessful, they didn't give up.
"They decided to go around toward the edge of the property and they were able to move one granite block that's not pinned, that's the very last one and they went through, came back right behind me on the lawn here and escaped out," De La Bruere said.
A camera captured the car driving out of his yard and onto the road.
"Agents responded to the area and a short time later, located the vehicle abandoned in the Walmart parking lot," U.S. Customs and Border protection said in an email.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the car was later found abandoned in the local Walmart parking lot. The investigation is ongoing.
No wall?
In winter it would be a killer snowbank!
Typical. People always try to escape communism.
The Walmart parking lot is loaded with cameras. They should at least be able to identify the driver.
“Typical. People always try to escape communism.”
Read again. The were traveling TO Vermont.
muslim infiltrators
I hope they catch those guys. I’ll bet they weren’t born in Canada.
Really no need for a wall with Canada. The majority of the border is heavily forested or on bodies of water such as the Great Lakes.
I think we may read about the actions of the men in a little bit......
I know a guy who lives up there. They used to ride their bikes into Canada to drink beer. The border cops just waved.
Read again. The were traveling TO Vermont. (TexasGator)
But they came in FROM Quebec.
How is entering the United States escaping communism?
Creative, I’ll give them that.
“How is entering the United States escaping communism?”
From Canada. Yeah, maybe Vermont is a poor choice, but it’s a start.
In that section of Vermont, the border cuts right though town, through houses, a bar, the Library/Opera House, etc...
