Migrants photographed on roof of lorry arriving in UK

Two migrants have been photographed clinging to the top of a lorry as it arrives at Kent in England.

The extraordinary image was captured in the early hours of this morning as the vehicle left the Eurotunnel site in Folkestone.

Migrants desperate to reach the UK have repeatedly targeted freight lorries as a means of crossing the Channel from Calais.

Earlier this month the British Government announced that a new secure zone will be built to provide extra security for hauliers.

In a separate incident yesterday, 12 suspected migrants were detained after being found in the back of a lorry on the M20 yesterday.
