Eleven Vietnamese citizens were arrested for trying to sneak through the Vietnam-China border after working as seasonal workers in the neighboring country, border defense forces said this week.
The border crossing attempt was detected by border guards at the Xin Cai Border Post in northern Ha Giang Province on Tuesday.
Senior Lieutenant Nguyen Duc Duong spotted the group of eleven crossing beaten paths to enter Vietnam during his sentry duty.
“They admitted that [people on] a vehicle dropped them off at the path and told them the way back to Vietnam,” Duong said.
