US -Canada bust up human smuggling ring
Snippets: U.S. and Canadian police have broken up a criminal ring that smuggled dozens of Indian and Pakistani nationals into the United States at a cost of up to $35,000 each, officials said on Wednesday.
Police said 14 people have been indicted by a U.S. grand jury in Seattle in connection with the Vancouver-based scheme that transported people over the border between British Columbia and Washington state.
Four people waiting to be transported to the United States were arrested in houses in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey on Tuesday in raids that also lead to the arrest of a man police said was the ringleader.
The smuggling operation was first discovered in January 2005, when U.S. agents near Oroville in eastern Washington state received a tip about men purchasing maps of the rural border area.
Once in Washington state, the illegal immigrants were kept in hotels until the smugglers could set up flights to cities around the United States, officials said.
