A private investigator, Charlie Meacham, has recently been hired by insurance companies to investigate five go-fast boats stolen from the docks on the Intracoastal Waterway in Pinellas County, Florida. He believes these boats are to be used by criminals to smuggle aliens from Cuba to Mexico, where they can cross the border into Arizona, New Mexico or Texas.
This is no minor operation. The go-fast boats that were recently stolen are valued between $200,000 and $1 million. These theives do not purchase their fuel along the waterway, where they could be detected. Local police believe they have oil drums in the Gulf of Mexico, tracked with GPS systems. Meacham thinks they might be using some type of mother ship.
A major problem in stopping this sort of crime is that there is little risk and a potential for great reward. Smuggling people for a profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars can lead to months of prison time, the same smuggled in drugs can lead to life sentences.
