TWENTY-two people suspected of being in the country illegally were arrested in Abaco on Wednesday during a joint law enforcement operation.
Police said the operation involved the immigration, fisheries, Customs and the Port Department and targeted immigration violations, maritime offences and breaches of the Customs Management Act.
The operation was conducted in two phases, with the first targeting Hope Town and surrounding cays and the second focusing on the Farm shantytown in Treasure Cay.
The suspects were arrested and handed over to immigration officials for processing.
“The Royal Bahamas Police force together with its partner agencies remains committed to conducting coordinated operations to address suspected violations of the laws of The Bahamas to maintain safety and security throughout The Bahamas,” police said.
