LAREDO, Texas — Freer Station Border Patrol agents recovered a stolen vehicle Monday morning and arrested five Mexican citizens illegally in the country.

Agents manning the traffic checkpoint Monday morning on US Highway 59 spotted a white Ford pickup truck on Farm to Market Road 2050. The driver of the pickup veered off the roadway and drove through a gate of a privately owned ranch. Several people left the truck and tried to get away.

Agents arrested five undocumented immigrants near the area of the bailout with the help of air support. All five people were Mexican nationals illegally in the United States. They were arrested and transported to the Freer checkpoint to be processed.

Registration checks revealed the truck was reported stolen. The pickup was recovered and turned over to deputies of the Webb County Sheriff’s Office.
