Police capture home-made vessel and its
crew
HAVANA, Cuba - December 13 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - Police in Batabanó
municipality, south of Havana, captured
a rustic vessel and several of its would-be
crewmen before they could get away from
Cuban waters.
Police said the men intended to sail to
Mexico after their departure from the southern
Cuban coast. The craft had two engines,
supplies and one bicycle on board.
One of the men, Roberquis Mongana, told
police he wanted to leave the country because
"he was denied employment and he had
a pregnant wife." Mongana had evidently
been in prison for several years and was
considered unreliable.
Mongana and the others were held for three
days at a police post and released after
being fined 5000 pesos each.
