Twenty-five Sub-Saharan and a Moroccan would-be irregular migrants were arrested Tuesday by the Royal Navy at the fishing village 'Lassarga', south of the city of Dakhla, according to a security source.
These individuals, who were heading for the Canary Islands, were arrested aboard a small fishing boat, the source added.
They were transferred to the Dakhla's reception center as part of the measures provided for by the state of health emergency, while an investigation was opened.
