BAHAMIAN authorities apprehended five immigrants and seized a vessel last week in Pinder’s Point, Grand Bahama.

A Jamaican man, with four Haitians, including a juvenile, were spotted getting off a vessel in the bay area, near the public cemetery, around 3:24pm on Thursday.

Acting Assistant Superintendent Advardo Dames reported that a team of officers acting on information went to the area with immigration officials.

They saw a vessel moored on the shoreline, with several persons disembarking.

Officers moved in and arrested a Jamaican citizen, and four Haitian nationals – two adult males, one female and a minor.

They were all handed over to immigration officials.
