Border Patrol agents are investigating after dozens of people were seen walking away from a panga-style fishing boat near Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach on Thursday morning, federal officials said.

The vessel was spotted on the beach about 25 yards south of the pier about 6:50 a.m., Border Patrol Supervisory Agent Michael Scappechio said.

“A local resident reported about 25 individuals getting off the vessel and walking toward the boardwalk with purpose,” Scappechio said. “Not running, but walking with purpose.”
