Texas state auditors are looking into where money tagged for increased border security was really spent.

Millions of tax dollars for security were spent on law enforcement equipment and positions away from the border.

The Office of Emergency Management spent most of the $79 million to combat crime in border regions.

However, the auditor's office cited several examples of squad cars, helicopters and new positions that landed elsewhere in Texas.
