Suspect not burglar, but illegal

LA JOYA--- A search for a possible burglar in La Joya leads police to nearly two dozen illegals.

Authorities tell Newschannel 5 an officer patrolling Military Highway noticed a man run across the highway from the gated subdivision.

The officer suspected the man may have committed a burglary and chased after him into a brushy area.

During their search for the man police came across twenty-one illegals hiding out near an irrigation canal.

The illegals were taken into custody and handed over to Border Patrol for processing.

Authorities believe the man they thought was a burglar was actually part of the group, and had gone out to look for food and water.
