About 15 suspected migrants have been discovered inside two lorries.

Police were called to Brenley Corner, Faversham to reports of suspected migrants in two lorries this morning.

A witness described seeing a number of police cars and two men walking along the hardshoulder of the M2.

Witness Liz Robertson said: "We first saw a single police car on the hard shoulder and a foreign man was being put into the back of a car.

"Then a few hundred metres down, two more police cars and officers were hand-cuffing two more people, both with rucksacks.

"When we were heading home back on the M2, we saw another two men walking on the hard-shoulder. We called police who said they are on their way to find them now."

Police confirmed they had been called to the scene at around 11am today and are carrying out enquiries.

A spokesman said: "Any persons found to be a suspected migrant will be handed to the Home Office to process."

A man who didn’t want to be named said he saw a number of migrants climbing out of a Czechoslovakian lorry.

He said: “I was the one who made the call to police. I saw 14 migrants being taken out of a white lorry on the exit ramp on Brenley Corner.

“Some of them went down Brenley Lane, getting changed and going to the toilet.

“The police arrived pretty quickly and there were an awful lot of police cars, about six or seven.

“The migrants were all male and pretty smartly dressed, in their 20s and 30s I’d say. Some were walking along the motorway.”
