Stowaway issue refuses to go away

摘要

Almost 80 stowaways were discovered inside two lorries in separate incidents this week, just days after scores were found hiding in four lorries in Harwich. A Home Office spokeswoman said Border Force officers conducted a search of a Hungarian-registered HGV, which had arrived on a freight vessel at Humber Sea Terminal in Killingholme on Sunday morning (14 June). Inside they found 51 stowaways from Albania, with one believed to be pregnant and who was taken to hospital. The spokeswoman said: "The driver, a Hungarian national, has been arrested on suspicion of facilitating illegal immigration."
