Refugees found in carpet lorry

Ten people have been discovered hiding in the back of an articulated lorry. The driver, who was returning from northern Italy with a load of carpets and shoes, heard noises from his trailer when he was reversing into a parking space in Chichester, West Sussex. He called police, who discovered eight men and two women inside, believed to be from Kosovo and Sri Lanka.
