MISSION — A police operation to recover a stolen vehicle led to the discovery Monday of 14 undocumented immigrants in a truck.
Mission police, along with the U.S. Border Patrol and Texas Department of Public Safety, made the discovery after police spotted a stolen Ford F-250 near Mile 3 and Doffing roads, Sgt. Jody Tittle of the Mission Police Department said. The truck was stolen in Pharr about a week ago.
Officials followed the vehicle with the help of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter to San Manuel before officers pulled it over and discovered 14 illegal immigrants in the truck bed, Tittle said.
Police arrested the driver, a 16-year-old boy, and two other suspected smugglers who followed the truck in a silver Ford Expedition, investigators said.
Police identified the adults as Teresa Colunga, 42, and Guillermo Garcia, 28.
A Mission municipal judge charged them with unlawful transport, a state jail felony, and set bail for each of them at $100,000.
If convicted, they could face up to two years in jail and a fine not to exceed $10,000.
