Bethlehem police and Northampton County prosecutors picked up 9 men suspected of being illegal immigrants this morning.

Eight men from Bolivia and one man from El Salvador were stopped around 8 a.m. in a vehicle in a parking lot in the 400 block of Main Street, said Bethlehem police Deputy Commissioner Stuart Bedics.

The men were detained by police and are suspected as being illegal immigrants, Bedics said. Around 10:30 a.m., police were still interviewing the men.

Police said they are still trying to determine where the men were going, Bedics said.

Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli could not be immediately reached for comment this morning.
