17 illegal immigrants intercepted off Tarifa

Good weather for boating, little chance of hyperthermia, so yet another vessel was intercepted this morning off Tarifa, the passengers of North African origin.

The small boat was intercepted at 07:55 this morning, Monday, about ten miles west of Tarifa after having been spotted by a local fishing boat.

The tourists, none of whom had remembered to bring any papers with them, were intercepted by a boat from the Maritime Rescue Service and transferred to dry land. On board the small craft were 12 adult males, 4 women and one child aged between four and five years.
