Two people have been arrested for trying to cross a
Spanish-Moroccan border with an eight-year-old hidden inside some
luggage. The police have said that the boy was in a "terrible state."
Police in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in northern Africa, found an
eight-year-old boy from Ivory Coast hidden in a suitcase in an attempt
to smuggle him across the border onto European territory, an official
said on Friday. A young woman was arrested after she took the case
through a pedestrian crossing between Morocco and Ceuta, said the Civil
Guard police force.
"When they put the suitcase through the scanner, the operator noticed
something strange, which seemed to be a person inside the case" a Civil
Guard spokesman told French news agency AFP, adding that "when it was
opened they found a minor, in a terrible state."
