Relocation of People - Illicit border crossings made by 11 individuals resulted in their capture by authorities.
In the raid on a mobile home, the authorities discovered nine additional individuals hidden beneath a bed and in the upper sleeping area above the driver's cabin. Early investigations indicate that these individuals, including a woman, a child, and the other eight people, were meant to be transported to Germany via smuggling. Among them, ten people held Indian passports, while one was native to Sri Lanka.
During the travel from Latvia to Germany, it is suspected that the suspected smugglers made only a few stops to refuel and provide the people with water. Consequently, the two men face charges not only for illegal immigration but also for exposing the people to "a life-threatening ordeal," as police reports state. Both suspects have been apprehended, according to the authorities. Some of the illicit travelers were transferred to a reception facility, while the others were sent back to Poland.
