Approximately seven persons have been taken in police custody after a fishing boat was intercepted and brought ashore by the Dominica Coast Guard this evening.
The fishing boat was in Dominican waters.
So far nothing suspicious has been found on the boat but police were still carrying investigation up to press time.

Somali and it”s people use to rely on a bounty of the water”s fish to feed thier family, and to make a liveing untill foriegn people fishermen illgally enter thiere waters after they the foriengers depleted there water from fish by useing hight thec fishing devices to captured more fish ,dominica need to protect there waters to prevent that from happening
Not to mention the toxic waste from the so-called developed countries that was dumped into Somali waters.
OK
ok
it was coming dominica to put the fish down
Dominica once they have a little power over you the kcuf you up.
they twice and turn you.
so why are the venezulans in jail thats wrong.
dominica and venezula have ties and we should have help with the fish cause if they came all the way bird island fishing in there water it easy to come to dominica with the fish to sell insteady of going all the way back to venezula and come back to dominica.
Portsmouth custom was inform that the boat was coming to dominica.
fish they was bring for the french and the french go so fishery have the fish.
if we travel 150 mile to 151 mile west of dominica we are in venezula waters.
so once a dominican go oversea wound you say he is a theft.
I dont understand your point and Dominca waters must be protected at any cost from whoever entre without authorization do you beleive someone else will protect for us get real.
Perhaps its Muslim_Always shipping in his Jihad crew for a vacation after all that stress in Pakistan with Bin. They do say that Venezuela and the Salafi get on quite well together. I’d keep clear of the docks for a day or two. You never know.
stupesss.. dat a record man? so u mean to tell me dem man was just pull up in d/a waters..sa cobin?! and look dey sayin is venezuela flag dey was carrying.stuppesss.DRUGS!! Dey maybe see coastguard coming and dump it eh.but i sure it drug related . ill wait for de rest of de story.
should also note it was about after 5 in the afternoon…the boat was white and had the venezuelan flag..the officers were dressed in camouflage..the occupants of the boat were sitting on the docks
DNO must inform that the boat was carrying a Venezuela flag.
Good! It’s about time we stop and punish foreign fisher men invading Dominica waters and steeling our fish. These pigs have already abused their waters and are now doing the same to ours!
ALL SHALL EAT!
are the fishes in the sea ours,god did not say food for some and food for none,
http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/venezuela/water-dispute.htm
Venezuela is claiming most of the Caribbean Sea and has objected to the UN and made threats of sinking “gringo ships”
Most recently they have been military collaboration between Venezuela, Iran and Russia. Iran has also made many threats and supports organizations that are anti US, Israeli…
The decision of the cruise ship companies is as they said :
“due to fuel cost”
NOT due to our lack of proper accomodation.
By supporting venezuela’s aggression in the Caribbean sea towards the US, Dutch and British navies who have traditionally provided security for the cruise ships traversing the caribbean sea.
Simply put the Fuel costs to circum navigate ‘venezuela’s territorial’ waters so as to remain safely out of terror attacks are NOT cost effective.
This has been compounded by the British pulling out their Naval presence from the Caribbean sea
And how does your story link to the 7 foriegners that were found roaming our waters?
If you know so much don’t you believe the US et al energies would better serve securing the waters around Somalia? The pirates have hijacked many cruise ships utilizing this water!!!!
I thinki it is time we expand our knowledge and stop this Narrow-Minded nonsensical and unnecessary bashing of our island!!!!!!!!!!!
Let them attempt to sink any US vessel and they will see!! We Dominicans like to support too much ‘ish’. Let them sink they will see when the Tomahawks come flying. To he’ll with with who vex. They voleh bird island and we just there smiling!! KCUF Venezuela.
dumb dumb dumb! If what you say is true cruise ships would pull out of the Caribbean in general not just DA
I agree with VIP. Were the occupants trying to make Dominica their second home. It smells ‘ fishy’. Seven fishermen on one boat? I smell hydrogen sulfide ( rotting fish gives off that gas- lol).
Seriously I want to believe it may be a case of migration, legal or not! Je suis content tous les mondes sont bien.
That alone them police can do,look for drugs ,dat they thought them man had,who vex lost,police drugs is not d only crime it hve,look how many murder cases that going no where,bunch of idiots
what u from granbay with that kind off blog man they know y they pull them in we all know it was the
fishing part not drugs i could tell u like your drugs papa.
Is it a lost and found situation? Were these individuals missing at sea? Are they our Dominican fishermen?Are they caricom nationals?Are they gainfully employed?Were they dehydrated and hungry at sea?Were they taken to the hospital?DNO please let us know.We waiting
