TWO people from Vietnam were busted at Huanggang Checkpoint on Saturday when they attempted to enter Hong Kong illegally by hiding under border-crossing trucks, according to the Huanggang Border Exit and Entry Inspection Station.

At 9:20 p.m. Saturday, an officer on duty in the cargo yard of Huanggang Checkpoint received a report from a Hong Kong truck driver, who said that he suspected that someone was hiding under his truck when he checked his vehicle before entering an outbound lane of the checkpoint.

The officers started to inspect the truck and found a woman hiding underneath. The woman was a Vietnam national and was attempting to stow away under the truck to Hong Kong.

In another incident 10 minutes later, officers at the checkpoint found that another truck was abnormal through their detecting system and seized a man, also Vietnamese attempting to stow away to Hong Kong.

The checkpoint has an inspection system that scans each truck passing through the checkpoint. Images are transmitted to the monitoring office in real time.
