A total of 29 stowaways have been foiled in their attempts to enter the country via lorries by the UK Border Agency. Five men from Afghanistan were discovered in a Polish-registered truck at Calais, destined for Northampton; 12 Iranians and seven Vietnamese were found hiding in a Latvian truck bound for Dublin; while a further three women and two men from Vietnam were uncovered by sniffer dogs at Dunkirk, in a Romanian lorry heading for Leicestershire.
