The Police and government departments are making every effort to locate and apprehend a number of migrants who are believed to have entered the TCI illegally over the weekend.
Initial investigations indicate that a sloop landed undetected on Sunday and that some migrants may have dispersed into the community.
The Police/SPICE are currently conducting surveillance to locate and round up suspects.
Immigration, health and other government officials will work with the police to ensure the required checks are conducted and accepted procedures followed.
Further announcements will be made in due course. In the meantime members of the public with any information on this matter are asked to contact SPICE at 231-6464 or the crime stoppers hotline 1 800 TIPS (8477).
