Providenciales, TCI, December 28, 2016 – A rescue operation of illegal migrants had to be activated by Police Tuesday after word came of an illegal landing on one of the TCI cays.
Magnetic Media was informed since Christmas Day of an illegal vessel making it to shore, but details were scant then and they remain sketchy today as officials have still not confirmed what is happening. What is said is that there was a landing on one of the cays and that there are people believed stranded on the uninhabited cay and that those there will have to be brought into the mainland.
There is no word on how many people may be on the tiny island; it does appear though that the illegals are suspected to be of Haitian origin. A wooden sloop has been found. It is almost tradition for migrants from nearby Haiti to try to make landfall during the Christmas season; The Bahamas has reported two apprehensions so far during these holidays.
