Two small boats carrying illegal immigrants intercepted late last night

A pregnant woman and a baby have been taken to Torrecárdenas hospital for precautionary medical checks after being rescued along with 29 other immigrants off the Almeria coast.

The immigrant boat was first spotted by an ocean research vessel, the ‘Río Miño’, about two miles from the Isla de Alborán. On board were 32 adult males, four women and five young children.

Marine Rescue also intercepted a small inflatable craft about 37 miles from Cabo de Gata and the occupants, ten North Africans, were transported to port on board the Marine Rescue vessel ‘Denébola Salvamar’.
