Four men are under arrest in Maine for trying to cross illegally from Canada into the United States, after they were spotted by a pair of maple sugar employees on their way to work. According to the affidavit, filed by Scott Hanton, a U.S. Border Patrol agent, the four men were spotted on the morning of Friday, April 3 by two maple sugar workers heading into Canada. The four were walking south along the Golden Road, a 154-kilometre private road that stretches between the St. Zacharie Quebec/Maine border crossing and the town of Millinocket, Maine. The maple sugar workers “reported that they had heard from a third man that two occupants of a gray Nissan automobile stopped on the Golden Road were asking passersby for fuel and Wi-Fi to contact people they were supposed to pick up,” Hanton wrote. “The two complied and before the driver exited the vehicle, the (Customs and Border Protection) officer observed him reach under the driver’s seat.
