The undocumented travellers were caught in a hideout, pending their departure to Spain, Spanish news agency EFE reported, which added that the illegal immigrants were repatriated.
Relatedly, the Spanish authorities in the city of Sebta, also occupied by Spain, started procedures to grant political asylum to 43 Algerian nationals, EFE said.
Another 127 Algerians are currently given shelter in immigrant camps in Sebta.
