PHILADELPHIA - Federal agents arrested 61 illegal aliens as part of a four-day sting conducted across the state, authorities announced Monday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement teams began the operation April 2 and made arrests in the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Reading areas. Eleven of those arrested have criminal records, and agents found drugs and weapons at one location.

The arrests were the latest under a Department of Homeland Security effort aimed at identifying and removing illegal aliens from the country, according to a statement from ICE.
