Six mainlanders were caught red-handed yesterday morning as they were giving four illegal immigrants a lift to Cotai, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said near the Pac On ferry terminal in Taipa.
The spokesperson said that based on a tip-off about six months ago, the police learnt the sextet planned to pick up a group of illegal immigrants – colloquially known as IIs – in Pac On at around 2 a.m. yesterday.
According to the spokesperson, the gang took advantage of shallow water around a reclamation project.
