13 held in migrant boat investigation
Staff report



December 29, 2006
A boat with migrants thought to be Haitians and possibly carrying guns and 
drugs came ashore Thursday night at Coral Cove Park in Martin County, 
authorities said.

While there were conflicting reports, South Florida Sun-Sentinel news partner 
WPTV-Ch. 5 reported that 15 people were aboard a boat and that 13 were being 
held in custody at the park, which is on Jupiter Island. WPTV also reported 
that at least two migrants were dead and that drugs and guns were found.

At least six different agencies -- the Martin County Sheriff's Office, Tequesta 
police, Jupiter Island police, Jupiter police, U.S. Border Patrol and the Palm 
Beach County Sheriff's Office -- were helping in the search.
