Number of detained illegal migrants from Syria rising

Police officers in South Moravia detained a van carrying 33 refugees from Syria on Thursday evening during a random road check near the Slovak border. Among them were ten children. The driver has been charged with people smuggling. It is the fifth such incident this month. Last weekend the police detained a van with 27 migrants from Syria near Hodonín and a few days prior to that eight migrants were detained on a road near Prostějov after the smuggler’s car broke down.
