(AP) Police in North Macedonia have found 86 migrants, including minors, crammed into a truck with an attached trailer in the southern part of the country and arrested the truck driver.
The migrants from Pakistan, Syria and India were discovered late Saturday during a routine inspection near the border town of Gevgelija, police said Sunday. They did not give any other details about the migrants.
Police said a 44-year-old truck driver, identified only by his initials as D.M., was arrested.
The migrants are believed to have entered illegally from Greece and were headed to Serbia and [on to] wealthier European countries. They have been transferred to a reception in Gevgelija, pending deportation to Greece.
