Agents tracking dope catch 71 illegals, US Monor

YUMA, Ariz. What began as a marijuana seizure today turned into the apprehension of 71 illegal immigrants near Yuma.

The Border Patrol says agents followed one of three vehicles that crossed the border illegally into the U-S east of San Luis.

They tracked it to a home in Yuma, where the driver and a passenger ran off.

As other agents descended on the location, authorities discovered a drop house where 25 illegal immigrants were found.

The feds say another 42 were hiding out within a short distance.

A 17-year-old U-S citizen was arrested in connection with the drop house.

In addition, two people who fled from an S-U-V were arrested soon after.

Agents found eleven-hundred-30 pounds of marijuana inside the vehicle. Authorities estimated the pot's street value at nearly one (m) million dollars.
