Police detain 41 illegal migrants in Liberec Region

Police in the Liberec Region detained 41 illegal migrants from Syria on Sunday, a police spokesperson confirmed. The group was crammed into a delivery van which broke down due to severe overload. Although the migrants immediately scattered, the police managed to secure 41 persons who are now being questioned. It is not clear if the driver was apprehended.

The stream of illegal migrants on the Wester Balkans route has once again increased and, in a coordinated move, Czechia, Austria, Poland and Slovakia all reintroduced random border checks last week.
