Lettuce in

I could not resist…

EIGHTEEN illegal immigrants attempted to smuggle themselves into the UK hidden in a lorry-load of lettuce heading for Merseyside.

UK Border Agency officers stopped the Spanish-registered lorry in the French port of Calais at 5.50am last Sunday.

A search revealed the eighteen men – fifteen Iraqis, two Afghanis and one Iranian – hidden in the load of lettuces.
