Twinsburg Police Help Feds Catch Illegal Aliens
Officers pulled over a van carrying five illegal aliens on April 19
Last month, Twinsburg police assisted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents find illegal aliens living in Twinsburg Township.
On April 19 police met with an ICE special agent who told them federal agents had been watching a house in the township they believed housed illegal aliens. They asked Twinsburg officers to assist in a traffic stop later that day.
At 10:30 a.m. police spotted the white van the suspects were believed to be driving on Darrow Road. When officers noticed the license was expired, they pulled the van over.
