The Royal Bahamas Defence Force apprehended 17 migrants from Cuba on Cay
Lobos, the force announced Saturday.
The group, which included 14 men and 3 women, was apprehended after
being spotted by HMBS Bahamas on a routine patrol.
The HMBS Bahamas was under the command of Lieutenant Commander Gregory
Brown.
Tiny Cay Lobos is one of the southernmost islands of the Bahamas, just
north of Cuba. It is also known as Cay Labos.
The migrants appeared to be dehydrated but in good health, the force
said, and were transferred aboard the ship and are expected to arrive in
Nassau Saturday to be turned over to immigration authorities.
