Recently, the Yunnan Border Inspection General Station cracked a major case of smuggling across the country (border) border, arresting 119 suspects of illegal crimes, completely cutting off an illegal work channel to organize and transport foreign personnel to smuggle into the country in Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and other regions.
Cut off the illegal channel for smuggling into the country and 119 people were arrested
In early June 2021, police from the Honghe Border Management Detachment of Yunnan learned a clue that some criminals might be preparing to smuggle into the country from Jinping County in their jurisdiction. Sure enough, one night a few days later, several black shadows sneaked into the country and were arrested on the spot by the police squatting.
Police officers from the Law Enforcement Investigation Team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: These people who smuggled in must be organized by "snake heads". They use the complex characteristics of the border line to transport people. Through analysis and inquiry, we found that these four people caught should have missed the respondent behind them, and there must be some kind of chain or network behind them.
Then the police conducted an in-depth investigation, and an online car-hailing vehicle in Guangdong attracted the attention of the police.
Police officers from the Law Enforcement Investigation Team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: There is a suspected online car-hailing vehicle. The registered driver’s surname is Zheng, but he does not take the initiative to take orders on the platform. However, the car often moves in the border areas of Honghe and Guangdong, and runs back and forth.
Why don’t you take orders through regular platforms? What passengers are picked up and dropped off when traveling between Yunnan and Guangdong? The abnormal behavior of the online car-hailing driver Zheng must be strange, and the police immediately went to Guangdong. By joining the Zhanjiang police in Guangdong, a key clue was found: a Guangdong man recently used someone else's identity to stay in a hotel in the city, with suspicious whereabouts and similar appearance characteristics to Zheng.
Police officers from the law enforcement investigation team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: We followed the clues that afternoon and confirmed that the person who used information to move in was Zheng we were looking for.
Seeing that the time for arrest was ripe, the police took decisive action and arrested the online car-hailing driver Zheng.
Police officer of the Law Enforcement Investigation Team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: When we interrogated Zheng, he kept emphasizing that he was an online ride-hailing driver and his expression was calm, which made us difficult.
chat records leaked the truth. The codeword compares people to "goods"
Although Zheng was arrested, he refused to explain the truth. The police then investigated Zheng's chat records and found that many of the codewords were related to the smuggling case.
The word "safe house" has appeared frequently in several group chat contents on Zheng's mobile phone, and this word happens to be often used by smugglers, and it is a link in smuggling.
Police officers from the Law Enforcement Investigation Team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: Zheng and others usually communicate in code words, such as "safe house" is the temporary transit point for smugglers, "goods" refer to people, and "five goods" means five living people.
The police officers in charge of the case dig deeper from the chat content and peeled off the cocoon from the massive information. In the end, a criminal gang with Wang as the core organized personnel to smuggle into the country and transported them in segments was clearly presented.
With evidence, the police again interrogated the online car-hailing driver Zheng. This time, he explained a key information: Recently, several batches of smuggling personnel are trying to enter from Jinping County, Honghe Prefecture, and the core member Wang will appear in this transfer.
Police officers from the law enforcement investigation team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: Only by catching the suspect Wang can the case make breakthrough progress. So we reported to the detachment and organized police forces to arrest Wang.
On the evening of June 30, 2021, the police squatted in the jungle that must pass at the handover site based on clues, but as the sky was about to dawn, the squat position would be exposed, but the suspect did not appear as scheduled.
Police officers from the law enforcement investigation team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: There was no movement all night, and it was not until the sky slowly dawned and the suspicious vehicles appeared.
The time for arrest was ripe, and several police cars decisively intercepted the suspected vehicle.
Police officers from the law enforcement investigation team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: As soon as we stopped the suspect vehicle, a man jumped out of the car and wanted to run into the jungle next to him. We immediately stepped forward and subdued him. This person is the suspect Wang who we are waiting for.
In this operation, the police arrested 11 Vietnamese smugglers in the vehicle at the same time.
More than one place police joined forces to completely cut off the smuggling channel
As online ride-hailing driver Zheng and core members of the gang were arrested one after another, the latest characteristics and trends of many smuggling activities on the border of the Honghe River have gradually emerged. At this time, the last step of the case was solved. Where did the smuggling personnel transferred to Guangdong and other places settle down?
During the interrogation, the police learned that after the smuggling personnel entered Guangdong, there was also a transit point: a fishery company in Zhanjiang, Guangdong.
Police officers of the Law Enforcement Investigation Team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: After determining the last den, we decided to work with the Zhanjiang police to carry out a final operation.
On July 26, 2021, more than 40 police cars gathered within 3 kilometers of this aquatic products company in Zhanjiang, blocking all channels within the target radiation range.
Police officers of the Law Enforcement Investigation Team of the Honghe Border Management Detachment: Through preliminary investigation and repeated judgments on the core target areas, we divided the factory into 3 task areas. We have confidence and determination to win this mission area.
This time, the police searched 17 suspects from 10 rooms. Finally, the Honghe police worked closely with the public security organs in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Yunnan, Qujing, Wenshan, Kunming and other places on 8 occasions. After 6 months, they successfully arrested all 119 suspects involved in the case.
A few days ago, the Yunnan Border Inspection General Station announced that since the "100-day Action" for public security crackdown and rectification in the summer, a total of 153 cases of obstructing national (border) border management have been investigated and 689 people have been arrested, and 281 organized transporters have been arrested; 294 guns of various types have been seized; and the public security order in the Yunnan border area has been effectively maintained.
