Nine undocumented immigrants arrested after routine traffic stop

(6/14/07 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - A routine traffic stop in Southwest Houston led to the arrest of more than a half-dozen undocumented immigrants.


Eyewitness News was the only crew there on Thursday morning as officers detained nine undocumented workers on Bissonnet near the Southwest Freeway.

Investigators say they pulled the driver over because he was not wearing a seatbelt. During questioning, they found the immigrants, including a child, hiding in compartments of the rig. The driver was charged with smuggling.
