A panga boat full of suspected migrants landed on the beach in Malibu, California earlier this week, after which a group of people can be seen exiting the vessel and trudging across the sand, according to video sent to Fox News' Bill Melugin by a resident.

Melugin notes that "Malibu is 100+ miles away from the border," and that it's "Unclear if anyone caught."
Watch:
The incident happened the same week that LA media reported a sunken panga boat found off the same area on Wednesday, prompting an investigation from federal authorities.
The US Coast Guard was alerted to the 25-foot-long vessel at around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, and found a debris field with life jackets and gas cans, but no people.
On Sunday, surfers at Black’s Beach in San Diego County walk past a boat believed to have been used in a human smuggling incident.
