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.
