(Truck seized and one arrested)......It happened recently at the Highway 111 checkpoint.
Border Patrol agents say a white delivery van drove up to the checkpoint. The agents said the van exhibited signs consistent with human smuggling. The driver identified himself as a delivery man. The driver consented to a search of the cargo area. During the search, agents discovered 8 undocumented individuals trying to conceal themselves. IUt turns out the 37 year old driver was not a real delivery man and the van was a fake, as well. The 8 individuals, all adult males, were identified as Mexican Nationals. They were taken into custody for processing. The driver was arrested for suspected human smuggling. He will face federal charges.
