The Royal Navy Coast Guard, on patrol in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, intercepted Tuesday and Wednesday, several makeshift boats, with 186 would-be immigrants on board, a military source said on Wednesday.
The individuals, mostly Sub-Saharans, were safely transported to various ports in the Kingdom, after receiving the necessary care on board Royal Navy units, according to the same source.
Coast guards on a maritime patrol mission in the Mediterranean nabbed two jet-skis and a Go-Fast boat used by drug traffickers.
This operation led to the arrest of the drug smugglers, including three Spaniards and 2 nationals, and to the seizure of a ton of chira, the same source added.
The suspects, the vessels and the cargo were handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for customary legal procedures.
