Border Patrol agents in Arizona arrested two teenagers after they were allegedly involved in human smuggling.

John R. Modlin, chief patrol agent of the U.S. Border Patrol's Tuscon sector, tweeted that a 14-year-old and 15-year-old were stopped by officials on Dec. 13 in a sedan near Benson, Arizona.

When the Border Patrol agents stopped the sedan, five migrants were discovered in the car, including two that were located in the trunk.
