After a tip-off from a witness
Police were able to catch a tugboat on a forest road
A tow truck in Carinthia stealthily tried to stay under the radar. He was traveling with his "passengers" on a forest road when a witness observed the vehicle.
On Sunday evening, an attentive witness noticed a suspicious car. "The witness stated that a tractor vehicle was driving along forest roads in the direction of Trögern," reported the police. "After the officers arrived in the area, a vehicle with Czech license plates was stopped."
Syrian citizens
Inside the vehicle, the police then found three women, a man and three children. "There was also a woman in the trunk," said the police. The eight refugees were all Syrian citizens who were then taken to the Klagenfurt Aliens Police. However, they did not apply for asylum.
The smuggler himself, a 55-year-old Ukrainian, was arrested on the spot. Further investigations are now underway in cooperation with the Provincial Criminal Police Office.
