COPS discovered nearly 100 people, including some who reportedly have Covid, crammed into a Texas home.

Dozens of people were found inside the Chessington Drive residence on Friday morning.

Cops were initially responding to a report of kidnapping at the address when they found the mass of people.

Officer Edwards said at a press conference that they received a call regarding potential kidnapping claims on Thursday evening, and homicide units were working to track down the location.

Investigators are now looking at the incident as a possible human smuggling case.

Out of over 90 inhabitants, Edwards said that there were no children and that the youngest person was "early 20s."

He added that there are roughly five women and that the rest are men.

Police said that several of the people likely have Covid and some have symptoms like not being able or smell or taste and have fevers.

They are set to do rapid Covid testing and are keeping the people inside of the residence, Edwards said.

He added that some of the people may have to be quarantined depending on the number of positive cases.

Aside from Covid symptoms, Edwards said that no one appeared to be physically injured.

Cops said that the people were all "huddled together" in their "basic clothes" on two stories of the house.

None of the people were tied up, Edwards said, and were all just sitting next to one another.

When police arrived they supplied the people with food and water as they told them they "hadn't eaten in a while."
