Border guards in Huong Hoa District under Quang Tri Province, north-central Vietnam launched legal proceedings against Ho Van Cuong, 21, and Ho Van Tam Beo, 26, who reside in the province, for allegedly running a ring that unlawfully transported Chinese from Vietnam to Laos through Lao Bao International Border Gate, said a border guard on Saturday.
The two men were handed over to the provincial police for further investigation.
While conducting a patrol in the Khe Da area in Lao Bao Town at night on November 2, border guards discovered a man transporting two Chinese by motorcycle for illegal exits.
After a short chase, the patrolmen also found another rider.
They impounded two motorbikes and seized two mobile phones.
Investigation results showed that Cuong and Beo were paid VND480,000 (US$19.7) by a Lao national to find riders to transport five Chinese to Laos for work.
Three men agreed to transport the group of Chinese at a price of VND500,000 ($20.6) per motorcycle.
While they were carrying the five Chinese, they were stopped by border guards at night on November 2.
Two Chinese were caught, while the three others ran away.
The arrested Chinese were identified as Chen Qian, 27, and Jiang Ming Hua, 22.
