Migrants detained

Border police yesterday detained five illegal immigrants and their suspected smuggler after stopping the car in which they were traveling on the road from Komotini to Alexandroupolis. A police patrol car chased the vehicle after the suspected smuggler failed to stop at a police signal. The latter was eventually caught after stopping the car and attempting to flee on foot. The would-be migrants said they paid a total of 15,000 euros to be smuggled into Greece. All six faced a prosecutor in Alexandroupolis yesterday.
