Sixty Venezuelans who were caught coming into Trinidad illegally over
the past weekend are detained at the Cedros police station.
A source said some of the men are housed in the cells while the women
are being housed upstairs.
Some of the Venezuelans have been handed over to the Immigration department.
A source said since the influx of Venezuelans at Chatham, Galfar and
Cedros, an additional complement of Coast Guard officers have been sent
to Cedros. The Ministry of National Security also deployed three
additional vehicles but there has been no increase in the sea fleet.
During an interview with Guardian Media, Councillor Shankar Teelucksingh
said most of the Coast Guardsmen have been doing patrols along the
coast. However, he said there was a need to have more frequent sea patrols.
