Eleven suspected illegal immigrants were discovered hiding in the back of a German lorry just outside Swindon.
The 11 men were discovered by police in the back of the lorry while it was parked in a layby on the A419 near Dorcan.
The police swooped on the lorry at 10.20am yesterday.
The men have been taken to Swindon Central Police Station where they will be held until they are seen by the relevant immigration officers.
The immigrants were a mixture of Nepalese, Turkish, and Kosovan men.
This comes only two months after Brinkworth-based haulier Harry Hull was fined £10,000 after five Albanians were discovered hiding in one of his trucks.
Mr Hull is fighting against the penalty as he claims his driver Mark Goodhind did not know that the stowaways were on board.
The immigrants were discovered at Dover Port.
In August 1999, 14 illegal Kosovan immigrants were discovered in the back of a Dutch lorry in Cirencester.
