Customs officers find five illegal migrants in lorry in Brno

Czech customs officers found five undocumented foreigners claiming to have come from Afghanistan in a Macedonian lorry during a regular check of lorries in Brno-Slatina on Thursday, South Moravian Customs Authority spokeswoman Lada Temnakova has told CTK. The Macedonian lorry driver said he had not known about the foreigners hiding inside. "Customs authority officers were checking a Macedonian lorry transporting car parts to the Czech Republic from Poland this afternoon. The security seal of the cargo space was in order at first sight and corresponded to the documents, but a closer look revealed that it had probably been broken and repaired carefully," Temnakova said.
