A seven metre dinghy carrying 29 North Africans was intercepted on Thursday evening off the Málaga coast.
The small craft was spotted at 18:00 about 20 miles off the coast of Málaga and the rapid intervention vessel ‘Salvamar Vega’, based in Estepona, was sent to intercept.
The occupants of the dinghy, all North African males in apparent good health, were taken to the port of Estepona.
