Federal authorities are investigating after more than 30 Chinese illegal aliens were discovered inside a cargo van in an upscale pocket of South Florida this week.
The bust unfolded on Friday morning in Coral Gables, a small city that is home to the University of Miami.
A security guard on patrol in a private neighborhood alerted the Coral Gables Police Department (CGPD) about a possible kidnapping involving a U-Haul van and a Toyota sedan.
CGPD quickly located the vehicles and initiated a stop.
During a search, officers found 33 illegal aliens inside the vehicles – 31 Chinese nationals, a woman from Brazil, and a man from Ecuador.
“Five others were also taken into custody. Three of them, a Cuban man, a Ecuadorian woman and a Brazilian female were in the car, and the other two were operating the van,” WSVN reports.
Investigators are working to determine if one of the women found inside the Toyota was the victim of abduction.
Coral Gables, Florida, police uncovered a significant smuggling operation involving over two dozen Chinese migrants hidden in a U-Haul truck.

“We do believe these individuals were brought here by the water,” the CGPD Chief James Hudak Jr. explained during a press conference.
“They were probably dropped off, we’re assuming somewhere around the southern end of Coral Gables and approached on foot to the van where they were loaded into.”
The illegal aliens were turned over to U.S. Border Patrol while four suspects were taken into custody by CGPD.
Last week, InfoWars reported on multiple recent incidents involving Chinese illegals arriving to South Florida in smuggling vessels.
