About two dozen illegal immigrants, including three smugglers, were busted at a west Phoenix drop house Thursday night.

When officers knocked on the door of the house, near 59th Avenue and Southgate, a few people came out. They told officers about 20 other people were in the house, along with guns. A SWAT team was called, and 24 subsequently were detained and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Police said it appeared three of the suspect might be ``coyotes" or human smugglers.

No one was hurt in the raid.
