Patrols guard against smugglers on Michigan-Ontario border

As the weather heats up, so does the smuggling across the waterways between Michigan and Ontario. And the numbers are on the rise each year, with a 6% increase in arrests by the U.S. Border Patrol from 2007 to 2008.

Law enforcement agencies hope to slow down the smuggling -- primarily narcotics and illegal immigrants coming into Michigan and alcohol and cigarettes going into Canada -- by beefing up equipment and patrols.
