They said that they had later also arrested a man from Afghanistan who had apparently run off when he spotted the border patrol cops and was hiding in a different part of the train pretending that he had nothing to do with the suitcases.

The women told police that they simply wanted to get into the Schengen area and had resorted to using suitcases as they did not have a valid visa.

Romanian police are now preparing a case against all three for attempting to illegally cross the state border.

It was not revealed what punishment they might face.
