A cayuco carrying 82 immigrants, of which 8 were probably minors, arrived at Los Cristianos at about 2.30 last night/this morning. The craft had been spotted about an hour earlier off Puerto Colón where it was intercepted and guided into the harbour.
This latest arrival means that over 200 illegal immigrants have arrived at the Canaries over the last 24 hours.

Seven of the immigrants have been taken to hospital centres suffering from hypothermia and dehydration, and two further were taken to Candelaria Hospital.
