In the last 24 hours, Arad border police caught two groups of migrants - 13 in total - as they attempted to illegally cross into Hungary via the Nadlac II Border Crossing Point hidden in special compartments aboard a minibus and a coach, respectively, the Border Police informed in a release.
Thus, three Egyptian and three Bangladeshi citizens who were legally staying in Romania were discovered in a minibus driven by a 25-year-old Romanian; they were planning to reach a Western European state, the Arad Border Police said.
The other group of illegal border crossers was made up of seven Syrians found in a specially arranged space in the ceiling of a coach driven by a Turkish citizen and traveling from Turkey to Hungary.
Both drivers risk being probed for migrant smuggling.
Also, a 23-year-old Iranian was found by the border police in southern Giurgiu in a coach, as he attempted to enter Romania with a fake Belgian residence permit. The border authorities stopped his journey and, according to the Romanian-Bulgarian protocol, handed him over to the authorities of the Bulgarian Border Police.
