On Sunday evening, at approximately 6:25 p.m., the El Centro station's Remote Video Surveillance System Operators noticed a possible cloned Border Patrol Chevrolet Tahoe. 'Agents responded and attempted to conduct a vehicle stop on the cloned vehicle, but the vehicle continued to travel eastbound,' Border Patrol said in a press release about the incident.
