Police detain 27 illegal immigrants at Polish-German border
WARSAW, July 28 2006
Polish border guards and German police detained 27 illegal immigrants
aboard two trucks attempting to cross from Poland to Germany,
officials said Friday.
The immigrants -- 12 Chinese, nine Vietnamese, four Armenians, one
Egyptian and a man whose nationality has not been established -- were
detained at the western Polish town of Swiecko, border guard
spokesman Andrzej Kaminski told Poland's PAP news agency.
Checks found 19 people aboard one truck at around midnight Thursday.
Several hours later, eight were discovered in a second truck. None
had identity documents.
The drivers of the two trucks face a jail term of up to three years
if found guilty of people-smuggling. The illegal immigrants are to be
expelled from Poland.
