"It was just very strange, the whole incident. I don't know what they were looking for. They didn't even have me step out of the car, I just had to put the car in neutral."
David Steinebach from Langley was returning to B.C. in April after going down to Lynden in Washington state to buy some gas.
“I would still go down there every week to go get gas,” he told Global News.
“I have Nexus, so it’s very easy and fast for me to go down. And I go down through the Aldergrove-Lynden border crossing.”
Steinbach said it was 9:30 a.m. and he got to about 150 to 200 metres before the Canadians border and there was about six or seven U.S. border patrol officers that stopped not only his vehicle but all the vehicles.
“(They) started looking through my car and they were putting down the seats and looking in the back in the trunk and even went into my glove box, opened it up and used the flashlight to look in behind the glove box,” he said.
“It was just very strange, the whole incident. I don’t know what they were looking for. They didn’t even have me step out of the car, I just had to put the car in neutral.”
Steinbach said the search lasted about two to three minutes and then he was able to move on and cross back into Canada with no issues.
“I’ve never had that happen ever before,” he said.
