Stowaways found hidden in lorry

Twelve stowaways bound for the Irish Republic were discovered hiding in the back of a lorry by British immigration officials, it has emerged. 
The ten Iraqi and two Afghan men were found among freight in the Irish registered container at Calais, northern France, by the UK Border Agency using a detection dog.
The truck, which was about to board a ferry for Dover and travel to Tallaght in Dublin, was stopped and searched on Saturday morning.
The lorry and its load were allowed to continue but officials warned the driver, from Wales, and the Co Wicklow-based operating haulage company could each face a 2,300 euro fine if found he did not take adequate steps to secure the vehicle.
The men were removed and handed over to the French authorities.
Carole Upshall, UK Border Agency's Director for European Operations, said finds such as this one highlight the determination and expertise required by officers to stay one step ahead of illegal immigration.
