The stowaways were handed over to French border police and the vehicle
was allowed to continue on its journey. Paul Morgan, Border Force director for
South East and Europe, said: "This was an unusual type of discovery, but
in the past we have found people hiding in an array of freight, ranging from
dog biscuits, bathtubs and now coffins. "The incident shows exactly why we
base Border Force staff in France - to stop would-be illegal immigrants before
they can reach the UK." He added: "As well as using sniffer dogs,
officers also use heartbeat detectors, carbon dioxide probes and physical
searches to find people hiding in vehicles."
