A group of suspected illegal immigrants was detained wearing life vests early Tuesday morning after being spotted coming out of the water in the La Jolla Cove, police said.
A homeless man flagged police down about 1:55 a.m. and told an officer that he saw several people come out of the water near the Children’s Pool and leave in a large van, said Detective Gary Hassen.
