A boat carrying a large group of suspected migrants has docked at Newport Harbor before those onboard scattered among the surrounding mansions.
The 20-foot panga was abandoned after apparently striking and damaging a nearby yacht, Fox 11 reports.
The vessel is now believed to be in Coast Guard custody. It remains unclear how many people were aboard or whether any of them have been located.
Federal and local authorities have not yet publicly released additional details about the incident.
The California Post has reached out to the US Coast Guard and the Department of Homeland Security for further information.
