Border Patrol agents broke up a human smuggling attempt in El Cenizo, Texas.
It began after agents spotted a van driving erratically near Laredo. Agents attempted a vehicle stop, but the driver failed to yield. As the vehicle slowed down, several individuals fled from the vehicle into the brush. After a brief search, agents apprehended five people.
Moments later, Border Patrol agents located the vehicle, but it was engulfed in flames.
All of those arrested were determined to be from Mexico and in the U.S. illegally.
