The Judiciary Police (PJ), in collaboration with the Macau Customs Service, the Guangdong Public Security Department and the Zhuhai Public Security Bureau, have busted a people-smuggling gang which helped Vietnamese illegally enter Macau and also work here illegally, PJ spokesman Leng Kam Lon said during a special press conference yesterday.
According to Leng, the gang arranged for Vietnamese to swim from Zhuhai to Macau to illegally enter the city.
According to Leng, the Judiciary Police received a tip-off from the Guangdong Public Security Department and the Zhuhai Public Security Bureau in March that a people-smuggling gang was helping Vietnamese illegally enter the mainland and that the gang would then subsequently help some of the Vietnamese to illegally enter Macau.
