Following the siting of what was believed to be 10 migrants last week and feedback to Rutland NHW identifying where they were a few days later which was shared with the police, yesterday six migrants were detained in a Rutland village and handed over to the Home Office.
Leicestershire Police were called to the A1 by Greetham yesterday on Thursday following sightings of them.
A police spokesman said today, the suspected migrants were detained on suspicion of immigration offences and handed over to the immigration service.
