THREE Dominicans were detained by the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in Inagua after they were rescued by a United States Coast Guard helicopter stationed in Matthew Town, after their vessel is reported to have sunk.
Shortly after 7pm on Monday evening, the men were picked up on the east-southeast point of Inagua by the USCG Helo after they claimed they swam ashore from a sunken skiff, the RBDF said. They were then taken to the airport on the island, where they were eventually transported to the clinic in Matthew Town.
“RBDF personnel assigned to the island, led by Senior Lieutenant Elvis Bullard, are providing security details for the foreigners, who are being attended by the local medical professionals. The local medics assured proper protocols are in place for the safety of personnel. The Dominicans are being processed by immigration officials as part of the ongoing investigation,” the RBDF said.
