The Civil Guard intercepted a boat near Lanzarote on Tuesday afternoon. A patrol boat went to meet it and was responsible for towing it to Puerto Naos.
At about 7:15 p.m. it arrived at the port, where Red Cross personnel were also waiting to assist the immigrants. Only two men were found on the boat, who apparently left the coast of Morocco and were in good health.
Although the small number of occupants of the boat has led to speculation about possible drug trafficking, Civil Guard sources have told La Voz that they have not found any signs that it is an event of those characteristics.
