Officials have detained five migrants at a Kent port.
Immigration Enforcement was contacted by police at 3.15pm today, after officers attended an incident at Chatham Docks.
In all, five men identifying themselves as Albanian nationals were apprehended and handed over to the Home Office.
They will now be interviewed and their cases dealt with under immigration rules.
It comes only two days after 39 bodies were found in the back of a truck near the Dartford Crossing, an event similar to that experienced in Dover in 2000.
Nine suspected migrants were also found in the back of a lorry on the M20, leading to a four-hour closure of sections of the motorway on Wednesday.
