A traffic stop Monday afternoon led to the discovery of 16 undocumented immigrants and a 20-gauge shotgun with a tampered serial number in Edinburg.

Border Patrol agents attempted to pull over a pair of men who were known smugglers, according to a press release from the office of the United States Border Patrol Rio Grande Valley Sector.

The two men fled the scene, but the driver was quickly apprehended. The men had initially fled near a house, which they were suspected of looking after, according to the release. Authorities obtained consent to search the house and found 16 undocumented immigrants hailing from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras and the shotgun.

The suspected smuggler, a Mexican national, was subsequently arrested.
