Drug and human traffickers aren't alone in cashing in on smuggling operations in the Valley.
The owner of a
towing company says he counts on smugglers ditching or wrecking cars to support his bottom line. Breaking the law means big business for tow truck operators in the Valley.
Lorenzo Gonzalez owns Ventura’s Towing in Pharr. He says his best customers are local police. That's where the majority of his cash flow comes from.
“Police departments, I'd say about 67 percent,” says Gonzalez.
Gonzalez says the number of police calls goes up and down. His drivers can count on a steady stream of business from Valley smugglers.
“I've gone over to the river to tow pickup trucks that they leave in the river, the ones that carry drugs,” says Gonzalez.
Every month, Ventura’s drivers tow 15 to 20 cars used for hauling drugs or illegal immigrants.
