British police find 39 dead in truck container, arrest driver
2019-10-23
GRAYS, England (Reuters) - British police found the bodies of 39 people inside a truck believed to have come from Bulgaria at an industrial estate to the east of London on Wednesday, and said they had arrested the driver on suspicion of murder.

The discovery was made in the early hours after emergency services were alerted to people in the truck container, on a gritty industrial site in Grays, about 20 miles from central London.

The truck was thought to have entered Britain at Holyhead, a North Wales port that is a major entry point for traffic from Ireland, on Saturday and to have originally started its journey in Bulgaria, police said. The driver of the truck, a 25-year-old man from Northern Ireland, was in custody.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was appalled.

#6  If this happened here, it would be advertised as proof we need to open our borders to all comers.

Imagine all the money the cartels wouldn't make if we just legalized human trafficking. Time to admit the War on Human Trafficking is lost, and literally anything other than what we are doing would be an improvement.

#3  It will be used the same way over there. Unless they'll accuse the Russians of spilling Novichok in the truck.
