Devils Lake, ND -
Three off-duty Devils Lake law enforcement officers were responsible for the arrests of six individuals in a local store Thursday evening between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m.

The officers, shopping all at the same time in the same store, recognized several individuals who they thought were wanted for check forgery in another part of the state.

Working first together, and contacting on-duty personnel, they arrested five Mexican nationals and one Guatemalan national. It was later determined the six did not have ties to the forgeries, but were found to be in the country illegally. The Border Patrol has five of the six in their custody while one remains here to face charges on having false identification.

The case continues to be under investigation.
