San Diego
Two aliens were robbed Wednesday in the border area. Police spokesman Bill Robinson said the two were traveling north in the Goat’s Canyon area, about 2 1/2 miles west of the San Ysidro port of entry and about 30 yards north of the border, when they were attacked by border bandits brandishing handguns. In what police say has become a daily scenario, Bonifacio Aguirre and Miguel Flores Gonzales were ordered to lie face down on the ground and were stripped of their money and jewelry, which amounted to 800 pesos and a watch. The bandits, believed to be Mexican, then fled across the border into Tijuana.
