ALGONAC, Mich. -
Agents from the U.S. Border Patrol have arrested two Albanians after they allegedly crossed the U.S.-Canadian border illegally by boat.

U.S. Border Patrol says camera operators observed a boat crossing the St. Clair River from Canada and entering U.S. waters at approximately 11 p.m. on Tuesday.

As agents from the Marysville Station responded to the area and spotted the boat in a canal in Algonac, Border Patrol says the boat eventually pulled behind a local bar. The two individuals got out of the boat and made a cell phone call.  The boat quickly returned back to Canada.

After the two individuals made a cell phone call, authorities say the individuals got into a vehicle and drove south on M-29 through Algonac. Border Patrol agents stopped the vehicle where the two individuals admitted to being citizens of Albania illegally present in the United States.

"This is a great example of how we are using both ground agents and technology to prevent illegal crossings of our northern border," said James Crawford, a patrol agent in charge of the Marysville Border Patrol Station.

The two individuals were arrested and are currently being detained pending a removal hearing.
