Chandler police turned over eight suspected illegal immigrants Monday to federal agents after they fled from a traffic stop.
According to detective David Ramer, Chandler police spokesman, an officer stopped a white Toyota at 10:46 p.m. on northbound Arizona Avenue at Riggs Road.
As the officer walked towards the car, the driver sped off for about 25 feet and then stopped, letting off the passengers who ran into a nearby alfalfa field.
The officer caught three of the suspects immediately and then called in other officers to set up a perimeter and called in the Mesa police helicopter.
Ramer said there may have been nine people in the vehicle.
Agents with the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement were on scene within an hour to take custody of the suspects.
