2 Enter U.S. Illegally Near Navy SEAL Base

Two people trying to enter the U.S. illegally were headed to the restricted Navy SEAL base in Coronado

A man and a woman were arrested Sunday after they landed their personal watercrafts near the Naval Amphibious Base in Coronado, otherwise known as the training facility of the Navy SEALs.

The individuals were identified as Mexican Nationals by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.

Members of a multi-agency task force spotted two people on separate personal watercraft heading toward the shore around 8:45 p.m.

U.S. Border Patrol agents who were patrolling the area found a 34-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman in wet suits covered in sand, officials said.

They were taken into custody.
