Police stopped a vehicle in the 1500 block of Main Street about 10:30 p.m. Edilzar Abilio Garcia Tzin, 23, Christain Saul Carias De Paz, 20, and Estela Blanca Hichos Ramirez, 32, allegedly are in the United States illegally from Guatemala.

ICE issued detainers for them and they are being held in Northampton County Prison.

The arrests in the borough came less than 48 hours before nine men suspected of living in the country illegally were apprehended Monday morning as they arrived for work at Hotel Bethlehem in the city.
