Twenty-six illegal immigrants have been found on board a lorry near Aylesham.

Police were called to a lay-by on the B2046 Adisham Road at 12.30pm on Saturday after reports that immigrants had stowed away in the foreign-registered lorry's trailer.

It is not known where the immigrants were from, but they have been passed to the Home Office Immigration Enforcement team.

The discovery comes just four months after 26 immigrants were found in a lorry delivering peppers to fruit importer Gomez at Bridge.

Gomez managing director Jim Parmenter accused the government of not doing enough to prevent people entering the UK illegally.
