Tour bus found with 6 illegal workers
A tour bus was found carrying 6 illegal immigrants. Mukdahan Immigration Police and Officials from the Nong Sung Police Station have arrested the driver for breaking orders established by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA). Pansuk 60 years old and 6 Laotians were arrested on the bus. Officials received information that illegal workers will be traveling into the country while the border is still not open. These workers plan to travel into Bangkok on a vehicle.
