Homeland Security turned a couple of Canadian stowaways over to authorities after the pair was discovered trying to sneak into the United States on a train bound for North Dakota earlier this week, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service reported Thursday.
The pair of women were discovered at the Saskatchewan-North Dakota border Sunday as a CPR train rolled through a border station at Portal, ND. The station is equipped with X-rays to spot stowaways and illegal cargo in rolling stock.
A worker on the train crew spotted the pair on the monitors and alerted American customs officers to their presence.
U.S. Customs ran their fingerprints through the electronic crime data base and discovered Canadian felony warrants outstanding in the National Criminal Information Centre.
They turned the pair over to the Canadian Border Services Agency.
Lorraine Houle, 28 and Jean Corriveau, 23, were taken into custody and transferred for deportation back to Canada.
