Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar says cartels are stealing pickup trucks in the area and using them for human smuggling. Acting on a tip, deputies found seven stolen trucks and SUVs in South Bexar County. Salazar says several of the vehicles had their back seats removed in order to fit in more human cargo. Investigators say two of the trucks were stolen from Austin and Gonzales, but the rest were taken from San Antonio-area locations such as the Rim, SeaWorld, and La Cantera.
