ORWELL, Vt. (AP) — Vermont State Police say a traffic stop led to the discovery of two illegal immigrants who’ve been turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.

A trooper stopped Jose Tomas Flores Rocha for going 72 miles per hour in a 50-mph zone late Thursday in Orwell. The car had expired Mississippi plates.

Investigation revealed that Rocha and passenger Paola Lopez-Sarmiento, both of Aloha, Ore., were illegal immigrants, so they were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
