Twenty-four migrants, including children, were stopped at the Sebastian Inlet in a smuggling attempt on Thursday night, the sheriff's office said.
The Indian River County Sheriff's Office (IRCSO) said it assisted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Border Patrol, H.S.I., and the U.S. Coast Guard in stopping a smuggling attempt at the Sebastian Inlet.
The sheriff's office said its Marine Unit responded to help the FWC in transporting 24 undocumented Haitian citizens, including men, women, and children.
