Yuma sector U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended 13 illegal aliens Friday from the fifth drop house agents have discovered in two weeks.
At 11:45 a.m., agents working off a tip went to the 1200 block of 3rd Street and found one suspected smuggler and 12 illegal aliens inside two small travel trailers in a trailer park. The people had been hiding for one week while waiting to be smuggled farther into the U.S., according to a Border Patrol release.
None of the illegal aliens required medical attention. Three vehicles parked by the trailers were seized.
Agents are continuing to investigate the case. Since October 1, 2005, Yuma sector agents have apprehended 94,559 illegal aliens, according to the release.
