Dozens of suspected illegal immigrants found in LA home

(Los Angeles-AP) -- Authorities have discovered at least 75 suspected illegal immigrants crammed inside a home in Los Angeles.

Police say officers went to the home in the Watts area last night after an anonymous tip that people were being held against their will.

Police say it's believed to be part of a smuggling operation, but so far there have been no arrests.

The immigrants are believed to be in relatively good condition.

Earlier this year, police raided a residence in the same area where more than 50 illegal immigrants were being held until friends or family could pay for their release.
