(CNN) Several Chinese migrants trying to enter the US from Mexico were hiding in a washer, a dresser and other furniture, federal authorities said.

Border agents searched a moving truck at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego, California, on Saturday when they found 11 Chinese migrants hiding inside "various pieces of furniture," US Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.

Migrants were found in a washer, a chest and a dresser, CBP said.
