Early this morning the police were informed of illegals trying to enter our island via the waters near Vader Piet. The police rushed to the scene and encountered two people holding on to the rocks in the water and screaming for help, while two others had passed away.
Five people tried to enter via Vader Piet when they encountered some issues. One of them managed to get to shore and started calling for help right away. The concerned departments were informed and the rescue mission commenced immediately. The Firedepartment arrived and started helping get the people to shore. In the meantime, the police spoke to one of the surviving men who called for help.
The K9-unit arrived and started searching the area for anyone else who may have tried to flee while an ambulance was called to conduct medical examinations on the three survivors.
It was difficult to reach the survivors on the rocks, so a helicopter was called to the scene to aid in their retrieval. They were eager to be rescued and tried to climb the rope all at the same time, when they calmed down, they were able to get to safety. They were then all transported to ImSan, where they will receive medical attention before being handed over to the Coast Guards.
Unfortunately, two people have passed away. Their bodies were retrieved from the water along with packages of drugs. The exact amount of drugs is not yet known as the investigation is ongoing.
