Illegal immigrants: Croatian police arrest Pakistanis
Illegal immigrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan arrested.
Croatian police said on Wednesday that they had arrested 16 illegal immigrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan, half of them minors, when they tried to cross the border hidden in a trailer.
The 16 men, aged between 15 and 31, were found on a north western border crossing in the trailer of a truck with Serbian registration plates, a police statement said. The HINA news agency said the immigrants boarded the trailer in Greece and were hidden between bags of flour. Croatia lies on a Balkans route often used by criminals to smuggle people, drugs and weapons into the European Union.
