RTC has learnt that about 3:30pm on Wednesday February 9, two male patients were admitted to the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre emergency department.
“It is believed they were Dominican stowaways, found aboard a vessel that had arrived into TCI waters the day before. They were brought into the hospital by ambulance and accompanied by Customs officers.
“Both were complaining of minor aliments although neither was considered to be in a serious condition.
“The pair are undergoing treatment and will also be tested for all other conditions and diseases, as is standard InterHealth Canada practice in these situations.”
The spokesman told RTC News: “On Wednesday, four Dominican males in their 20s were brought to the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre after being discovered stowed away on the same vessel.
“All four were discharged into the custody of Customs officers after being treated for dehydration.”
