Nearly a dozen illegal aliens were arrested this weekend and authorities are searching for the truck that may have brought them over from Canada, Local 4 learned.

Four men, five women and two 12-year-olds were taken into custody after an ambulance crew spotted them getting out of a tractor-trailer in Chesterfield Township behind a Kmart and called police, the station learned. The truck may have brought the illegal aliens from India or Pakistan into Michigan from Canada at the Blue Water Bridge.
Police are looking for a black tractor cab towing a white trailer with the words "Dynamic Freight Solutions" written in blue on the side.
Four of the suspects were arrested at Kmart, while seven others tried to hire a cab to take them to Chicago. They paid him $600, but the cab driver had second thoughts about the group and called police.
The group reportedly has 30 to 60 days before they appear for a deportation hearing. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has investigated their records and said that the men and women arrested are not terror suspects.
Meanwhile, Canadian officials said that they have broken up a human smuggling ring that with arrests in Windsor, Hamilton and Toronto.
Canadian authorities say that people coming from Pakistan and India were paying $40,000 each so that they could cross from Canada into the United States.
There is no word yet on if the two incidents are related, Local 4 reported.
