(UPDATE) – A search and rescue mission to find three missing Vincentian fishermen have yielded results. Commander of the SVG Coast Guard Brenton Cain told News784 that the men were found by a tug boat 190 miles west of St Vincent.

News784 was told on Thursday, 3rd June, that the three left the Kingstown Fish Market jetty Tuesday morning (1st June) on a fishing trip, using a 27-foot pirogue.
