SEVEN “apparent migrants” have been detained after getting out of a lorry trailer.
Sussex Police were called to a Logistica Ylorci trailer in Vinnetrow Road, Chichester, shortly before midday today.
It was reported that the truck stopped in the road and several people, believed to be migrants, got out.
A spokesman for the force said: “At 11.25am, officers went to a lorry trailer which had stopped in the road after a report several apparent migrants had left it.
“After a search of the area, seven people were detained nearby and arrangements will be made to hand them over to border force officers.”
Pictures show officers speaking to people on the roadside and large hole in the lorry trailer’s roof.
