Local media reported that the men had crawled into the back of the vehicle near Antwerp on Tuesday, prompting the driver to contact police. The find comes amid heightened concerns over people smuggling into the UK, following the discovery of 39 bodies in the back of a refrigerated lorry in Grays, Essex last week. Essex Police are also looking for Ronan Hughes, 40, and his brother Christopher, 34, both from from Armagh in Northern Ireland, who are suspected of manslaughter and human trafficking.
