SAN ANTONIO, Tx — Deputies responded to the scene of a large human smuggling operation that involved 26 victims.
The victims were discovered inside a false compartment of a goose-neck trailer.
Multiple people fled the scene as authorities arrived; however, seven suspects have been arrested so far.
Authorities say ballistic vests and long-neck rifles were recovered from the scene.
11 victims were transported to the hospital with heat-related illnesses, scrapes, and bruises, while the remaining 19 victims were taken in for questioning.
Law enforcement is still trying to determine the difference between the suspects and victims.
