A baby and two children were among 15 suspected migrants found in a chilled potato lorry.

Officers were called to reports of people in the back of a vehicle at the Albert Bartlett potato factory in Worstead, Norfolk, just before 2pm on Tuesday.

A Norfolk police spokesman said: “On attendance, officers found 15 people, including a baby and two children, in the container. They will be dealt with by the Home Office immigration enforcement agency in due course.”

All 15 people were assessed at the scene by paramedics and a man was treated for a hand injury, but nobody required hospital attention.



The lorry driver has been arrested by police on suspicion of facilitation.



If the 15 suspected illegal immigrants are found to have no right to remain in the UK, Immigration Enforcement will take action to remove them.

Albert Bartlett have been approached for comment.
