The Macau Customs Service said yesterday that criminal gangs have come up with new ways to smuggle illegal immigrants to Macau.
The gangs now smuggle smaller numbers of illegal immigrants each time, but more frequently, to avoid detection by the authorities, the Customs Service said.Senior Customs officers yesterday briefed the media about their law enforcement work since the central government granted Macau jurisdiction over its coastal waters. The press briefing took place at the Marine Enforcement Department Building in Ilha Verde.
