Seven Chinese nationals fined for illegally entering Vietnam
Police in the border province of Quang Ninh have fined seven Chinese nationals 7 million VND each (over 300 USD) for crossing the border and entering Vietnam without following proper immigration procedures.
They told officials that they had hired a boat and crossed Ka Long River to enter Vietnam and then hired a Vietnamese to drive them by car to the north-eastern province’s Ha Long city.
The driver, Nguyen Trung Hieu, 32, from Ha Long city, was also slapped with a fine for transporting illegal immigrants.
The Chinese nationals were sent back to their country after they paid the fines.
