Nine arrested in smuggling attempt following high-speed chase

PRESIDIO COUNTY, Tx. (KOSA) — Nine people have been arrested in a smuggling attempt, according to the Presidio County Sheriff’s Department, following a high-speed chase that ended with shots fired on Highway 67.

The other six who bailed from the vehicle were eventually found and arrested, law enforcement posted in an update Sunday night.

According to the Presidio County Sheriff’s Department, one of nine arrested was a U.S. citizen attempting to smuggle the others into the country.
