Woman found in suitcase at US-Mexico border

Nogales — Authorities say a smuggling attempt at the US-Mexico border was thwarted when inspectors found a woman from Thailand inside a suitcase.
Customs and border protection agents discovered 48-year-old Pornkamol Mongkolsermsak while inspecting a vehicle entering the US on December 30.

Mongkolsermsak, from Bangkok, was hidden under clothing in the large suitcase in the back of the vehicle driven by a 56-year-old Phoenix man, whose name hasn’t been released.

Customs and border protection spokesperson Victor Brabble said yesterday that Mongkolsermsak was being charged with re-entry after deportation.

Authorities didn’t immediately know if she has a lawyer yet. — AP
