Dominicans repatriated

[NewsWhore]

According to El Caribe newspaper a total of 86 Dominicans, including two teenagers, have been repatriated to La Romana by US Coast Guards. One group was caught on Monday night trying to reach the neighboring Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. One of the teenagers, an unnamed 13-year old, said that his parents were not aware of his actions. The two young men were part of a group of 29 that left Nagua last Friday. Four of the small craft were captured at sea on Monday, off Cabo Engano on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic by units of the United States Coast Guard. Later, early Tuesday morning, a Dominican Navy vessel spotted a very small craft called a "cayuco" (a native fishing canoe) with seven people on board. A Naval spokesman told reporters that they have picked up 87 small craft over the last two months. El Caribe says that some of the travelers were been deterred by their capture, and appeared to be willing to try again.
