A group of Haitians today landed at a beach in Kensington in Portland.

Their vessel reportedly came ashore shortly after 2 p.m.

It is reported that at least five persons were discovered in the community by the police and that another set was found on the beach.

It is also reported that a man who ran into the bushes was chased and apprehended.

Members of the media who visited the scene were roughed up verbally and ordered off the beach by the police.

The Haitians are being questioned by the police.
