Police handcuffed a 50-year-old man at dawn on the basis of a court warrant, as part of the investigation of a case of assisting illegal entry, transit and stay in the Republic of Cyprus.
The arrest of the 50-year-old was preceded yesterday afternoon by the discovery of a wooden boat, east of Kavos Greco, in which a total of 10 men were on board, who were found to be illegal immigrants.
When the vessel was intercepted, it was found that the navigator was a 50-year-old man, against whom a court warrant was issued and he was arrested to facilitate investigations.
The vessel was taken to a fishing shelter in the area and the ten men were taken to a temporary accommodation centre for illegal immigrants.
The Famagusta CID continues the investigations.
