Sheriff's deputies raided a painting
company Monday morning and arrested eight illegal immigrants, said the Maricopa
County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office started
investigating after several calls came in from former employees of the Cochran
Painting Company located on West Frier Drive in Glendale. The calls claimed that
U.S. citizens who worked there were recently fired while the illegal immigrants
were not, the sheriff's office said.
The eight were arrested on charges of
felony identity theft and forgery charges.
