Border officers in Champlain, N.Y., made two arrests on Sunday, after being alerted by the Bergen County Drug Task Force. Information gleaned there led to the arrest of three men in Edgewater by the task force, said Michael Gilhooly, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "This was an excellent example of teamwork and the unified agencies of the Department of Homeland Security working in cooperation with local law enforcement," said Peter Smith, special agent in charge of the ICE office in Buffalo. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
