BRATISLAVA, March 6 (Xinhua) -- The Slovak police have arrested two Syrians for trying to smuggle migrants, Slovak Police Corps spokesperson Denisa Baloghova confirmed on Monday.
The duo were caught attempting to smuggle a 23-year-old Syrian woman with two children through the Hungarian-Slovak border near Bratislava last week.
"The Syrian woman and the children had been registered as asylum seekers in Hungary. The two alleged people smugglers, Ahmed A. and Daham A., last week picked her and the children up in front of an asylum facility in Hungary with the intention of smuggling them through Slovakia to Austria," explained Baloghova.
The two Syrians were taken into custody in Bratislava and Syrian migrants have been placed in a transitory facility for migrants pending their return to Hungary.
