A Bahamian man was arrested and six Jamaicans were apprehended this week by Bahamian authorities at Cat Cay, police reported.

ASP Terecita Pinder reported that shortly after 10am on Tuesday a team of officers in Bimini, acting on information, went to the cay where they discovered six undocumented immigrants hiding in the bushes.

She said that a Bahamian male was also taken into custody. The Jamaicans were handed over to Bahamas immigration officials.

ASP Pinder said police are continuing investigations into the matter.
