The Pinal County Sheriff's Office says the US 60 and I-10 are some of the busiest spots to intercept human smugglers. They're catching several carloads of people every day - so we went on a ride-along with them.
Sheriff's Office says the US 60 and I-10 are some of the busiest spots to intercept human smugglers. They're catching several carloads of people every day - so we went on a ride-along with them.
Drug traffickers and human smugglers take advantage of Arizona's highways and interstates every day, according to the sheriff. "Not for us, we have just seen a steady incline over the last two years and our statistics say that," Lamb said. "A 377% increase in traffic stops involving human smuggling. A 461% increase in pursuits involving human smuggling. That is alarming because they’re putting everybody at risk when they do that.
Sheriff Lamb says they're seeing a lot of Arizona drivers being recruited by the cartels to help with transportation.
