Maricopa County sheriff's deputies arrested eleven people Thursday in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's latest identity theft raid.

The arrests were made around 1:30 p.m. at three America's Taco Shop restaurants located in Phoenix and Tempe.

MCSO spokesman Chris Hegstrom said four people were booked on felony charges related to identity theft and forgery, and the remaining seven suspects were turned over to ICE for border violation issues.

Hegstrom said the restaurant has been under investigation by sheriff’s detectives for over a year.
