Nearly 80 illegal entrants, including a 4-month-old baby, were found crammed in a horse trailer in a south central Phoenix neighborhood Tuesday morning.

The discovery was made by a Phoenix police officer performing a routine patrol of an alley in the neighborhood near 14th and Polk streets.

The officer, who was not identified, said he spotted a man fleeing from the property along with the horse trailer parked in the back of the property. The officer said he heard an unusual amount of noise coming from the trailer and decided to inspect the situation.

Inside, he reportedly found illegal entrants who said they had been traveling for approximately two days. The men, women and children hadn't apparently eaten for two days and hadn't had much to drink.

The temperatures in the Phoenix area have topped 100 degrees over the last couple of days. The trailer had no air conditioning.

Nobody was injured and nobody was transferred to the hospital.

The search is still on for the suspect seen fleeing from the property.

The illegal entrants were taken to the central immigration office for fingerprinting and identification purposes.
