Five persons are currently in police custody as the investigation continues into the discovery of 26 Haitian nationals, who are suspected to be part of a people smuggling ring.
The Ministry of Home Affairs yesterday afternoon announced that the Haitian nationals were found last weekend after the police conducted two search and cordon exercises in Georgetown and Region Ten.
Some of the Haitian nationals were discovered in a city hotel while others were found in a minibus on the Linden-Mabura road. Among those found were seven children, including two boys and five girls.
