Four people attempting to enter the U.S. illegally on jet skis were taken into custody near Mission Bay, officials said.
The incident began in the Mission Bay jetty at 3:28 p.m. when a jet ski failed to stop for law enforcement officials, said Jackie Wasiluk with CBP Public Affairs.
Local San Diego law enforcement, U.S. Border Patrol agents, and agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations (CBP AMO) responded to the incident and took two people into custody.
Two others tried to flee, but were taken into custody and their jet ski seized. The incident was initially reported as a pursuit.
U.S. Border Patrol agents will process all four suspects.
No further information was immediately available.
