French cops slam the brakes on 21 migrants trying the Channel dash
Migrant Madness on the Channel
French authorities interrupted a desperate bid by 21 migrants to cross the Channel on Saturday afternoon. The group attempted the perilous journey in four separate boats.
Kayak Chaos and Capsize Drama
- Four migrants braved the waves in a tiny kayak.
- Another four had to be rescued after their boat capsized in rough waters.
- A third vessel carried 13 hopefuls.
- The fourth boat was intercepted and brought ashore at Dover by the Border Force.
All 21 were promptly returned to France, staving off what could have ended in tragedy on the busy shipping route.
