Early Sunday morning, an incident took place off Palm Beach's coast that brought the issue of illegal migration into sharp focus. The Palm Beach Police Department (PBPD) discovered a beached vessel near 1200 N. Ocean Blvd., which led to the detention of four individuals. As reported by CBS12, the PBPD suspects that additional individuals, yet to be located, could have been involved in the operation.

The BPBD's response came after receiving reports of the stranded vessel, with authorities moving swiftly to secure the scene. In their efforts to piece together the events leading to the beaching, a statement by PBPD stated, "A beached vessel was discovered by officials," highlighting the immediate concern of a larger group possibly at large. Seeking assistance from those nearby, the officials urged the community, as mentioned in a post on WPTV, to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity related to the incident.

Contact at 561-838-5454 has been provided by the BPBD for the public to report information, underscoring the communal role in resolving such events. The police are optimizing their efforts in locating the other suspected migrants, the belief being held steadfast by the police that there could be more individuals involved, as captured by Palm Beach Police via WPTV.com photography.
