Arrests after special forces end suspected tanker hijacking

LONDON - Seven stowaways have been arrested after the Special Boat Service stormed a tanker off the Isle of Wight.

About 16 commandos boarded the Nave Andromeda last night, following a suspected hijacking.

Two Royal Navy Merlin helicopters were involved, along with two Royal Navy Wildcat helicopters.

“Initial reports confirm the crew are safe and well,” the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.
