A ship comes into the port of Norfolk, VA in the USA, some of the seamen are foreign nationals.
Two of the foreign seamen request two days of shore leave to visit Washington DC. The captain rightly refuses their request as they have no right to leave the ship and enter the USA.
That evening the same two foreign seamen disappear from the ship. A search of their cabins suggests that they have not taken any of their personal possessions.
The captain very concerned as to the safety of these seamen and their illegal actions reports the incident to Securewest International who immediately commence an investigation with the full support and knowledge of US authorities.
As a result of enquiries made with other members of the ships crew it is established that the two missing foreign seamen have gone to the Dallas area. An e-mail address for them is discovered, it is also learnt that they are very short of money.
After further intensive enquiries it is established that the foreign seamen have been and withdrawn their final small amount of savings from an ATM in a specific district of Dallas.
Securewest International investigators make contact with them through their e-mail address advising them of the trouble they are in with the US authorities for illegally entering the country, advising them that it is known where they are and that they are short of funds.
As a result of that contact and delicate negotiations the two foreign seamen surrender themselves at an arranged time and location and are taken to US Immigration where they are arrested.
24 hours later they are deported by Securewest International operatives, the foreign seamen given a life time ban from re entering the USA.
