GLENDALE, AZ -- Nine undocumented immigrants and a "coyote" were found at a West Valley drop house Monday officials said.

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Aaron Douglas said officials first learned of the drop house during a "traffic interdiction" on January 5.

During the incident, MCSO deputies arrested 11 undocumented immigrants, including the driver, and found a piece of paper on the driver listing a Glendale address near 35th Avenue and Camelback Road.

Douglas said MCSO deputies investigated the home, and on Monday nabbed one undocumented immigrant and one "coyote," or human smuggler, at the residence.

According to Douglas, this led to a nearby apartment where four additional immigrants were found.

Deputies continued investigating in the area, and were able to locate four more undocumented immigrants in a van parked outside the Glendale apartment.
