CHARLESTON -- Troopers arrest four undocumented immigrants from Mexico after a traffic stop early Sunday morning.
South Charleston State Police stopped a green Toyota pick-up truck on Oakwood Road after it failed to stop at a stop sign. The driver, Carlo Ortiz, 32, of Mexico, did not have a driver's license or any form of identification. Christobal Lopez, 22, Alexander Perez, 25, and Hugo Romero, 21, all from Mexico, were also in the truck.
All four immigrants were arrested and transported to the South Central Regional Jail for initiation of the removal process, which will begin Monday.
Police say the Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be investigating why the immigrants were in the country and why they were in the Charleston area.
