SIX Cuban migrants were discovered last Monday on Water Cay in the Cay Sal Bank after reportedly leaving Cuba on May 18, Bahamian immigration officials have reported.

The group - four men and two women - was discovered on May 23 by US Coast Guard officials after being stranded on the cay for a couple of days and had to use a piece of wood from their rustic vessel to start a fire.

The USCG Cutter Shriek brought the migrants to Lucayan Harbour, Grand Bahama, around 8am on Saturday and turned them over to immigration officials.
