The Judiciary Police (PJ), in collaboration with the Macau Customs Service and the Zhuhai Public Security Bureau, have busted a people-smuggling gang which helped mainlanders enter and leave Macau illegally on speedboats, PJ spokesman Lai Man Vai said during a special press conference yesterday.
In a joint operation on Tuesday, the two local law enforcement agencies caught three key members of the gang and six illegal immigrants on the waterfront near the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal in Zape, while the Zhuhai Public Security Bureau arrested two members of the gang there.
All the arrested suspects and illegal immigrants are mainlanders.
