TIJUANA, Mexico — Police in the border city of Tijuana say they have arrested six men for stealing pieces of the U.S. border fence to sell as scrap metal.

Holes in the border fence once were more commonly made by migrant smugglers, but fewer people are trying to cross because of a weak U.S. economy and a crackdown on immigration.

Police said Wednesday the men may face federal charges because the fence area is considered federal property.
