TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Border agents working in southeastern Arizona have found four illegal immigrants hiding in the trunks of vehicles in two separate incidents.

Agents assigned to the Nogales Station on Monday were alerted by a canine team about a suspicious vehicle.

The Border Patrol says agents conducted an X-ray scan of the vehicle and discovered two women from Mexico inside.

In a separate incident Monday, agents assigned to the Willcox Station referred a vehicle for a secondary inspection.

Agents opened the vehicle's trunk and discovered two men from Mexico.

Authorities say the men were provided necessary medical attention and were processed.

The identities of vehicles' drivers haven't been released but authorities say they'll be facing human smuggling charges.
