Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell Local 10 News that the migrants were smuggled in by boat near the Snapper Creek Bridge and put in the van and a small Toyota.
At least one person called police, who stopped them on South Le Jeune Road near Aurelia Avenue.
Authorities suspect that most of the migrants are Chinese.
The migrants were put in a Coral Gables trolley to be treated and assessed by officers, including agents with U.S. Border Patrol.
