U.S. Border Patrol confirms to Spectrum News that six undocumented immigrants were arrested on Grand Island on Sunday.

According to officials, at around 9:45 a.m. on Saturday, agents received a call from someone of Grand Island that undocumented immigrants were at the 7/11 on Love Road. 

Agents would not confirm, but the owner of Budget Motel on Grand Island tell Spectrum News that those six people were staying at the motel.

Three were arrested immediately, and three others led agents on a foot pursuit. Two were apprehended shortly after, while a third was tackled by police and arrested just before 3:30 p.m. Spectrum News crews were on the scene. 

An hours-long search effort for the final man involved multiple agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, Grand Island Police, Erie County Sherrifs, New York State Police, and took place in a heavily wooded area by the I-90.

Those arrested have been taken to the Federal Detention Center in Batavia, where they are awaiting a deportation hearing.

Witnesses say the search had been ongoing since at least 11:45 a.m. and the scene was clear by 4 p.m.

The case has been handed over to the U.S. Attorney's Office, according to Border Patrol.
