Eight suspected illegal immigrants were taken into custody Friday morning after a traffic stop south of the Valley, the Department of Public Safety said.

DPS officers made a traffic stop on Interstate 10 east of the Wild Horse Pass exit on the Gila River Indian Community.

Two people tried to flee, but DPS officers were able to stop them.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were also called to the scene.

No further details were available.
