BELMONT — Authorities are holding an illegal alien from Mexico on charges of driving after suspension while the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is preparing criminal charges against him.

Belmont Police Officer Kevin Baron stopped a truck on Route 3 at approximately 3:30 p.m. for a minor motor vehicle violation, according to Police Chief Vinnie Baiochhetti. The officer found that the driver of the vehicle, who gave his name as Angel Silva Ventura of 199 Wilson St. No. 2, Manchester, had a suspended license.

Upon further investigation with ICE, Ventura was found to be in the United States illegally from Mexico.

Ventura eventually was taken to the Belknap County Department of Corrections jail while awaiting further criminal charges.
