YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Texas sheriff deputy discovered a dozen illegal migrants crammed together inside hay bales in an alleged human smuggling scheme during a routine traffic stop Tuesday. NY Post reporter Deirdre Bardolf shares this story.

The deputy pulled over a white Ford F-250 pickup towing several massive bales of hay on a trailer driving along IH-10 near Flatonia just before 1 p.m., according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office.

When the officer got a closer look at the round hay bales, he was shocked to find 12 people hidden inside.

The smugglers had “meticulously altered and hollowed out” the bales to create cramped compartments where they could sneak people into to hide from the authorities, Sheriff Keith Korenek said.
