Another group of illegal Cuban migrants have been captured.
Defence Force officers were on routine patrol when they intercepted a 20-ft makeshift motor vessel approximately two nautical miles east of Highbourne’s Cay in the Exuma Sound around 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
The 14 undocumented Cuban males were subsequently taken aboard the Defence Force vessel and transported to the Coral Harbour Base where they were handed over to immigration officials for further processing.
This incident makes a total of 26 Cuban migrants apprehended by Defence Force officials this month.
