SEVENTEEN Cuban migrants are being detained at the Carmichael Road Detention Centre after being apprehended in Bahamian waters by members of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force on Monday morning.
Acting on information received, HMBS Lignum Vitae, commanded by Senior Lieutenant Bertram Bowleg, spotted and boarded an 18-foot makeshift aluminum motor driven vessel approximately six miles off the coast of Cay Lobos at around 9.45am.
A further search of the vessel revealed the 12 males and five females, who were then taken aboard the Lignum Vitae and brought to Nassau on Tuesday afternoon, where they were handed over to Immigration officials.
