posted (June 12, 2019)

Police intercepted a band of Cuban migrants in San Antonio, Orange Walk. Based on the police report, this morning around 4:45, police were on mobile patrol when they saw a maroon Ford van speed by towards Santa Cruz. The police followed the van into San Antonio village where the driver jumped out of the moving van and scrambled off into the bushes, leaving 12 Cuban nationals behind. There were 9 adults and 3 children. They were all detained and taken to the Orange Walk Police Station.

Police made a similar bust in April, again in Orange Walk. This is the case where cops used BSI drones to find the van and about 11 Cuban nationals. Later that same day, police intercepted another van with Salvadorans and Nicaraguans on board.
