More Illegal Emigrants Found in Beer Lorry
More Illegal Emigrants Found in Beer Lorry
Just recently, some illegal emigrants were caught trying to enter the UK by way of a lorry that was full of beer. This lorry was heading towards Gloucestershire. Although the emigrants felt they were pretty well hidden, they were no match for the UK Border Agency's sniffer dogs.
These sniffer dogs were able to alert their handlers that a pair of emigrants were in the lorry. The two emigrants that were both found were Indian nationals. They were found at the port of Calais last Friday. The UK Border Agency spokesman said that their officers were able to find these men hiding among some boxes of beer.
The two men were handed over to the French border police, and the lorry was allowed to travel on to Sharpness. The agency said that the driver and the company could now face a big fine if they cannot prove that they took the right steps to secure the UK lorry.
It's important to remember that it is not just enough that they did not willingly give a ride to the emigrants. They have to be able to prove that they did the proper checks to ensure that no one was in the lorry in the first place.
