(AP) Serbia’s police broke up a people-smuggling gang near the border with Hungary early on Tuesday, and found various weapons and hundreds of passports and other documents taken from migrants trying to reach Western Europe, officials said.
Police also discovered 120 migrants, including women and children, during the operation in the area of Mali Horgos, a statement said.
Tuesday’s operation is the second this month against people-smugglers along the border with Serbia’s European Union neighbor Hungary. Stepped-up police activity has followed a clash in the area in early July that left one person dead.
Police said they found both firearms and other weapons with the smugglers.
