(ANSA-AP) - BUDAPEST - Romanian border police say they are
investigating more than two dozen migrants on suspicion of
illegally crossing into Romania from Serbia.
Police said in a statement they detected the group - 26 adults, a 10-month-old baby and a 3-year-old child - shortly after midnight Friday in southwest Romania, by using heat-detecting equipment.
They said they detained a Serbian man who was later spotted heading toward the Serbian border on the same route the migrants had used. He is suspected of being a guide for the 27 Syrians and an Iraqi citizen.
Police say 600 migrants have tried to illegally cross into Romania this year, about 40 percent less than for the same period in 2015. (ANSA-AP).
