Boat lands at Mylor Harbour before suspects flee in van as immigration probe launched
Home Office officials said 10 more people were arrested as Immigration Enforcement led the investigation into the boat landing and van escape.
- On Sunday September 27, a powerboat carrying multiple individuals arrived at Mylor Harbour in Cornwall before occupants fled in a van. Cornwall Police arrested two Albanian nationals on suspicion of immigration offences, with the Home Office confirming ten total arrests.
- The Home Office described the incident at Mylor Harbour near Falmouth as an "isolated and rare" occurrence. This follows reports last week of two uncontrolled landings on UK beaches where migrant boats arrived without being intercepted.
- Witnesses reported individuals exiting the boat and entering a van shortly before 3am. Immigration Enforcement is leading the investigation, while one person understood to be under 18 was referred to social services.
- HM Coastguard assisted Cornwall Police during the operation, and officials believe additional arrests may have occurred outside the force area. The Home Office declined further comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
- Investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the powerboat arrival, with authorities declining to address the total number reported by locals. Officials stated it would be "inappropriate to comment further" while the investigation remains active.
