A sailboat with 14 irregular migrants onboard was located at sea east off the town of Kalathos, Rhodes, the Hellenic Coast Guard reported on Friday.
The vesssel was intercepted after it refused to comply with the coast guard’s warnings, then sped off performing dangerous manoeuvres.
The boat was eventually stopped, and the migrants were transferred to the port of Rhodes proper, while the skipper, a 31-year-old identified by the passengers, was arrested.
