Canadian authorities have charged two people with trying to smuggle 10
young Chinese girls into the U.S. from Ontario. The youths were
discovered in the back of a van, and are now in custody.
The RCMP say the girls were being driven from a Chatham motel to a house
on Walpole Island, with plans to get across the St. Clair River to the
United States.
The RCMP say it's an unusual case because most migrants being smuggled
belong to one family. The 10 girls were on their own.
They are now being held in Windsor, Ont.
Police believe the teens have been in the country for less than a week,
but they don't know how the group travelled to Canada.
On Monday, Canada Customs agents in Vancouver found 25 migrants hiding
in cargo containers on a ship headed to Seattle.
