The only thing I can come up with is the planes were flying along the border between the two.

Then Bolivia popped them

Congratulations on being one of the few who actually read the article.
It clearly says that the intruders violated Venezuela airspace, and the Bolivian jets shot them down. The article also mentions that this was thought to be drug or arms traffickers. This is probably some joint task force between the two nations.
And by the way, Bolivia does not border Venezuela (not even close).
This had nothing to do with border control IMO.

The National Bolivarian Armed Forces are the Armed Forces of Venezuela not Bolivia. Venezuela's military is named in honor of Simon Bolivar, the Venezuelan General who led the fight for South and Central American independence from the Spanish Empire. The OP must not have read the entire article before posting.

The F-18 on the article page shows a Venezuelan flag painted on the aircraft tail with a flying dragon.
