Chinese nationals arrested for involvement in illegal exit to Laos
VOV.VN - Border guards of the central Quang Tri province have arrested four Chinese citizens and a Vietnamese man for their involvement in organising illegal exit from Vietnam into Laos.
Upon being arrested they were identified as Ho Van Vin, 18, residing in Huong Hoa district in the central province of Quang Tri; and four Chinese nationals, namely Shi Shao Ming, 39; Su Wen Gen, 34; Yao Jlan Feng, 20; and Li Wel, 24.
This comes following local police forces discovering a group of people at national border milestone 606 in the area of Huong Hoa district at 8:40 a.m. on April 22 as they were in the process of attempting to illegally cross the border in an effort to enter the northern neighbour.
Vin and Shao were seized at the scene, while three other Chinese men were able to flee into Laos.
After that, the Quang Tri border guards co-ordinated efforts with their Lao counterparts to conduct a search for the remaining Chinese suspects. By the afternoon on the same day, a group of three Chinese people had been successfully arrested.
Once under questioning, Vin admitted that he was hired to bring the Chinese nationals from Lao Bao Town to national border milestone 606. Upon arrival, Vin then handed over them to an unknown person who was responsible to help the Chinese citizens to cross the border illegally.
At present, the case is currently under further investigation.
