After a successful cooperation between Canadian and U.S law enforcement, four people have been arrested in an illegal border crossing that occurred on Oct. 8.

The RCMP say the group was crossing into Canada from the U.S. near Northwoods Road in Lynden, Washington and 0 Avenue in Abbotsford.

Three suspects fled on foot into Canada while being pursued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.

Once the officers located the suspects, they handed them over to the Canadian authorities.
