Police in Devon believe 12 suspected migrants may have got off a boat this morning
A boat landed just after 7am at Slapton Sands near Dartmouth and it's believed two people carriers were there waiting for them.
A force spokesperson said: “A large policing response was sent to the area following this incident being reported to us, but at this time no arrest have been made and those who landed on the beach, currently believed to be migrants, have yet to have been located.
“Our initial report states that those who landed on the beach were immediately taken into two vehicles that were waiting near-by and which immediately left the area.
“The vehicles are described as a silver people carrier with blacked out windows, and the second vehicle a black people carrier.
“We are appealing to the public to help us locate those responsible and so we can locate and ensure the welfare of those who landed on the beach. We would like to hear from anyone who was in the area from 6:30-7:30am and who may have information that could assist with our enquiries.
“We would also ask anyone who lives in this area of Dartmouth and near Slapton Sands to check dashcams and CCTV and to contact us immediately if they have any footage that can assist.
