A Texas Trooper made a shocking discovery during a routine traffic stop when she found 15 illegal immigrants in the back of a cargo truck.

Body-worn footage shows the surprising bust which took place in Uvalde County, in the US State of Texas, on 27th March.

Upon inspecting a U-Haul trailer, the trooper found 15 illegal immigrants, including three children, crammed in the back.

The driver, hailing from Missouri, was immediately taken into custody and charged with smuggling of persons.

The illegal immigrants were reportedly handed over to Border Patrol for further processing.
