Lao Cai border guards hand over wanted man to Chinese authorities

This comes after officers detected a Chinese man at 2 a.m. on August 30 as he was in the process of attempting to swim across the border through a river located at national border landmark 99(2)+1200 close to Kim Thanh bridge.

Upon discovering the man, he was identified as a 33-year-old from Yunnan in China. Under questioning he told authorities that he was wanted by Chinese police and had therefore decided to run away by attempting to illegally enter Vietnam.

After finding out this information, Lao Cai police immediately handed him over to relevant Chinese authorities.

This comes on the same day that border guards at Lao Cai International Border Gate also detected 10 Vietnamese citizens trying to illegally enter China for the purpose of work.
