A group of 10 suspected illegal immigrants have been pulled from the back of a lorry in Berkshire.
Police were called to a dual carriageway in Bracknell last week after noises were heard coming from the back of the truck.
Seven men believed to be aged between 18 and 30, two 16 year olds and a 17 year old, who said they were from Iraq, were arrested by police.
The incident happened on the same stretch of Bagshot Road where nine migrants – eight men and a boy – were detained three months ago.

Commenting on the latest incident, a spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: ‘We were called on December 14 to reports of noises coming from inside a lorry on Bagshot Road, Bracknell.
‘Ten males aged 16, 16, 17, 18, 22, 25, 26, 29 and a duo of 30 year old were subsequently arrested on suspicion of entering the country illegally.
‘They were remanded and are in the process of being transferred to the Home Office custody suite.’
The group are now being processed by Border Agency officials.

A spokesman for the Home Office said: ‘Immigration enforcement was contacted by Thames Valley Police after police officers attended an incident on Bagshot Road, Bracknell.
‘Ten people, all males, who presented themselves as being from Iraq, were referred to the Home Office and their cases will now be progressed according to the immigration rules.
‘Among the 10 were three who claimed to be minors and have been referred to social services to be independently age assessed.
‘Where someone has no right to remain in the UK we will take action to remove them.’
