16 More Haitians Detained: The Portland police report that they have detained 16 additional Haitian nationals who are believed to have arrived in Jamaica illegally by boat at midnight on Sunday.
Among the detainees are a pregnant woman and several children. The group was picked up on Wednesday after the minibus they were traveling in developed a puncture in Anchovy Gardens, Port Antonio.
This brings the total to 24 Haitian nationals taken into custody since the beginning of the week, following the detention of eight others on Sunday.
Reports indicate that on Sunday night, residents alerted the police to a 20-foot vessel spotted on the Hector River, believed to be transporting illegal immigrants. An investigation led to the arrest of the initial eight illegal immigrants, who were subsequently taken to the hospital for medical checkups.
Investigators believe that several other Haitian nationals may have arrived on the boat and are still at large in the parish.
