Coast Guard intercepts boat with 40 Venezuelans

Local | By Correspondent September 9, 2020

WILLEMSTAD - The Coast Guard intercepted a boat with 40 Venezuelans last night. They wanted to enter the country illegally.

The authorities are now figuring out what to do with these 40 people, because there is no room to lock them up in the barracks due to corona.

All 40 have been tested for the virus and are now being held in the open air of the SDKK prison barracks.

On the boat, there were 34 men, six women and two monkeys.
