Authorities in Region Two (Pomeroon – Supenaam) have intercepted a vessel transporting a group of illegal immigrants, suspected to be Venezuelans.
The group was reportedly making their way to Guyana’s shore when they were intercepted by the Coast Guard. They were brought to Riverstown in Region Two where they are reportedly being processed.
The group includes adult and children.
Last year, scores of migrants from Venezuela had showed up at the Golden Fleece beach along the Essequibo Coast in Region Two. They were deported the following day.
