ST. CLAIRSVILLE, OH -- A van-load of alleged illegal aliens was caught Sunday in Belmont County, and what they had with them has raised the eyebrows of the United States Homeland Security Department.

It all started when Belmont County Sheriff's Deputies noticed a van driving on Interstate 70 with no tail lights.

They pulled them over and discovered that all six people inside were allegedly illegal aliens.

They detained them, searched the van, and found evidence of a large-scale fake identity operation.

“They discovered numerous components to make ID's - approximately components for a hundred Ohio identification cards and 50 Tennessee drivers’ licenses. They're currently lodged here in our jail for ten counts of forgery on each. They have detainers placed on them from immigration services and they're currently waiting for a court appearance,â€
