On Sunday 25th August 2019 a vessel was intercepted by the Royal Bahamas Defence Force approximately 1:45P.M. 17 miles Northwest of Highbourne Cay in the Exuma chain with (98) Haitian nationals onboard.
This group, consisting of (78) Males, (15) Females and (5) minors were subsequently turned over to Bahamas Immigration Department and escorted to Carmichael Road Detention Center for processing.
