Three fishermen have drowned while trying to sack a ship that ran aground just off the Dominican coast near Cabo San Luis, Pedernales. Two other men were rescued and one other evaded capture. High waves were blamed for the capsizing of the Keicheir, CC-k 37-2498, which left the port of Juancho without permission. According to Navy sources, the six men were trying to board a Haitian vessel loaded with appliances and vehicles bound for Port-au-Prince, and that went aground between Juancho and Oviedo off Cabo San Luis. The Navy has already arrested several people who were trying to sack the vessel, and according to Hoy newspaper's reporter in Barahona, the survivors admitted that the vessel was their objective.
