PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies have made 9 arrests after serving a search warrant on Lam's Asian/International Food market in west Phoenix.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his office received a tip several months ago indicating a number of employees may have gained employment unlawfully.

Arpaio's office identified 21 suspects who were likely utilizing false identification. Only 9 of the suspected employees were at the store at the time of the raid, and they were taken into custody.

Deputies are still looking for the others.

The investigation is ongoing.
