Seven Men Bailed After Tanker Incident Off Isle Of Wight

Seven Nigerian Nationals have been bailed after being arrested during a large scale maritime security incident which took place off the Isle of Wight.

As previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio, officers were given more time to question the detainees following the incident, which saw squads from the Special Boat Service storm the 42,000 ton Nave Andromeda just a few miles off Sandown on Sunday (October 25).

The arrested men have subsequently been bailed in relation to the criminal investigation whilst investigators continue their enquiries, but will now remain detained under Border Force powers.
