Ernesto Serote, police spokesman in Zambezia province, said one of the vehicles was driven by an off-duty police officer.
Mozambique is increasingly becoming a transit point for illegal immigrants to gain entry into South Africa, said Serote.
At least 17,000 illegal migrants from the Horn of Africa flee to South Africa annually. Most of them transit through Kenya, according to the International Organization for Migration’s report in February.
The organization said crisis and poverty were forcing Somalis and Ethiopians to carry out dangerous journeys to better places. South Africa has deported a total of 678,697 illegal immigrants between 2002 and 2005.
