By: The Enterprise

Two stowaways aboard a ship carrying military cargo were detained, according to a U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman.

Coast Guardsmen boarded the large cargo ship Monday night before it reached the Port of Beaumont, Coast Guard Lt. j.g. Niya Williams said.

The ship was searched and secured and the two unidentified men were taken into custody by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, Williams said.
