'Stressed' Hythe haulier fears fine after migrants found in lorry

A haulage company said its driver was "stressed and concerned" about being fined after migrants were found hidden in the back of a lorry. Dramatic footage showed the men, believed to be Iraqi Kurds, banging on the doors and calling to be let out at the depot near Hythe, Kent. Dominic Graham, from Alcaline UK, said the men should have been detected by Border Force technology when the lorry passed through Calais in France. The Home Office has been contacted for comment. Alcaline UK contacted Kent Police, whose officers spent around two hours with the migrants before handing them to immigration officials. Richard Hill, from Alcaline UK, said it was not known exactly where the men boarded the lorry, which was carrying car parts, but there was no evidence of damage. "They probably got in the back doors at some point before the trailer was sealed", he said, adding that the driver was "stressed and concerned" that he might be fined. Hill said: "The truth is our drivers work very very hard and they are very busy just every week getting through their days. They don't have time to be soliciting for business."
