Taiwanese authorities have arrested two Chinese nationals over allegedly sailing into the island on a rubber boat illegally, Focus Taiwan reported on Saturday.
The Coast Guard Administration (CGA) Northern Branch said they arrested a father and his 17-year-old son on Friday.
The Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office said the father was sent to a detention center while his son was transferred to National Immigration Agency's Special Operations Brigade as he was declared a minor.
According to CGA, both Chinese nationals sailed to the island on a rubber boat only 3.3 meters in length, which was difficult to detect with radar.
There was no immediate comment from China.
