At 4 a.m. yesterday, at the boundary area of Wutong Mountain Mountain Road, five men wearing cut-resistant gloves sprayed strong acid on the barbed wire and were caught red-handed by the border defense officers while preparing to cut through the wire with pressure pliers.
According to investigators from the border defense department, these five men are all South Asian nationals who do not know each other. Each paid around 5,000 yuan to the "snakehead" for their passage and gathered in Shenzhen. Yesterday, the "snakehead" transported the five men to the mountain road, attempting to cross into Hong Kong under the cover of night. This case is under further investigation.
