Monday afternoon update:
Police and customs officers attended Scott’s Dock in Cayman Brac on Monday following reports of a Cuban migrant vessel.
Social media rumours of a death at the dock were unsubstantiated, a Customs and Border Control spokesperson said. Police also confirmed they had received no such report.
Brac resident and shipping advisor Raymond Scott said he saw the boat tied up alongside Scott’s Dock. He described the vessel as small, about 18-feet long, with a plastic or canvas roof.
