2 Chinese Men Illegally Cross Russian Border on Lawnmower
Russian border officials in the country’s Far East have arrested two Chinese men who attempted to sneak across the border into Russia on a lawnmower, local media reported.
When they were stopped, the unauthorized immigrants claimed they had got lost while cutting grass. They showed a note on Broken Russian written by hand, but with their photographs saying: “We are workers, who clean fire-prevention zone. We got lost. Please, return me to China”. They claimed it was given by Chinese forest police.
Russian authorities said this was not the first time that illegal entrants had claimed to be lost gardeners.
