Four Mexican nationals detained from sailboat in Mission Bay
Four Mexican nationals, including a 17-year-old girl, were taken into custody off a 36-foot sailboat in Mission Bay on Saturday morning, Coast Guard officials said.
The agency said it received a report of a suspicious vessel going to the bay around 11:15 a.m. They directed a boarding team to go onto the vessel after it docked in the area of the Quivara Basin, Coast Guard Petty Officer Richard Uranga said.
The boarding team found six people aboard, including two American citizens who claimed they owned the vessel, officials said.
All six were taken into custody, and the boat was seized, officials said.
