BURI RAM — Highway police have arrested two Thai drivers and six Chinese nationals in Nang Rong district of this northeastern province in a crackdown on an illegal migrant-smuggling network.
The arrests followed an investigation into a network suspected of smuggling foreign nationals into Thailand. Police received information that a group of Chinese migrants would be transported along Highway 24, prompting officers to set up surveillance near Wat Khun Kong intersection in Nang Rong district on Thursday.
