LOS FRESNOS, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Witness statements continued in federal court on Tuesday, on day two of the trial for the owners of Abby's Bakery.

The Los Fresnos bakery was raided in February after receiving an anonymous tip accusing owners Leonardo Baez and Nora Alicia Avila-Guel of harboring undocumented employees inside the bakery.

The first witness on the stand Tuesday morning was Homeland Security Criminal Investigator Dylan Duke.

Duke testified that he received the anonymous tip and launched an investigation into Abby's Bakery two months before the raid.

During the raid, federal agents found eight undocumented people inside the business, leading to the arrest and charges filed against the bakery owners.

"They were not paying rent to reside there," Duke testified.
