VOV.VN - Border guards in the central province of Quang Tri have dismantled a human-smuggling ring that illegally brought 15 Lao nationals into Vietnam in search of employment.
The La Lay International Border Gate Post announced on September 4 that it has initiated criminal proceedings and transferred the case to the provincial police for further investigation.
On August 29, border guards patrolling in A Bung Village intercepted Ho Van Ngheo, 39, transporting two undocumented Lao nationals who had crossed the border illegally. An emergency search of Ngheo's residence uncovered seven more undocumented Lao nationals.
