Twelve people have been found in the back of a refrigerated lorry on the
M6 in Staffordshire.
It was
travelling northbound when a person in the back of the lorry called police at
about 09:00 BST, requesting urgent assistance, officers said.
The motorway
was closed and the lorry was stopped between the Hilton Park
services and Junction 10a.
They have
received treatment, but no arrests have been made, police said. Border control
staff are investigating.
The 12 were
assessed at the nearby Hilton
Park services but did not
require hospital care, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.
The origins
of the vehicle and those travelling in it are currently unclear.
