Spain rescues a Moroccan minor who was hiding in a ferry

Spain’s Civil Guard agents were able to rescue a Moroccan minor who was hiding in a ferry, reports Spanish news agency Europa Press. The 15-year-old teenager was hiding in one of the ship’s porthole, a generally circular window used on the hull of ships to admit light and air.

The ferry left Nador, Morocco, and was heading to the Motril port in Spain, the same source added. The ship’s staff spotted the young man and called the police. Civil Guard rescued the minor who was using a plastic bag to cover his body.

Once rescued, he was taken to the city where Spanish authorities started the legal procedure.
