Women found Trying To Smuggle Themselves Into Europe Inside A Pair Of Suitcases by lekzyboy20(op): 7:56am On Dec 14, 2016

Police got a shock when investigating two
abandoned suitcases on a train to Vienna when
they
discovered two Afghan women stuffed inside
them.
Romanian border patrol officers stationed in
the
town of Curtici entered the luggage
compartment of
the train which was travelling to the Austrian
capital
having become suspicious of the bags.
After deciding to open them, they found two
women
inside, who were trying to reach Austria
illegally.
A spokesman for the police force, on the
border of
Hungary and Romania, said: 'Following checks
we
have established that the two people in
question are
from Afghanistan, aged 25 and 59.'
They said that they had later also arrested a
man
from Afghanistan who had apparently run
away
when he spotted the police officers and was
hiding
in a different part of the train pretending to
know
nothing about with the suitcases.
The women told police they wanted to get into
the
Schengen area and had resorted to using
suitcases
because they did not have a valid visa.
Romanian police are now preparing a case
against
all three for attempting to illegally cross the
state
border.
It was not revealed what punishment they
might
face.
