Police in northern Lao Cai Province said on Friday that they had broken a racket that had helped about 200 illegal migrants cross the Vietnam - China border over the past year.
The ring was uncovered after police in Lao Cai -- the capital city of the province, in collaboration with the provincial traffic police, caught 16-year-old Bui Thi Ngoc from the north-central Vietnamese province of Nghe An illegally crossing the border from China to Vietnam on April 13.
At the police station, Ngoc admitted that she had previously paid a group VND12 million (US$522) to get support for illegally leaving Vietnam for China, where she planned to work in prostitution.
