Three boats of illegal immigrants stopped

A total of 54 illegal immigrants were arrested in the eastern Aegean in separate incidents over the weekend, after making clandestine trips from the Turkish coast in small vessels. In one instance, coast guard officials off Agrielia on the southeastern tip of Lesvos apprehended a suspected migrant smuggler in a small speedboat, along with 12 men who had paid a gang in Turkey to ferry them over to Greece.
