On Tuesday morning, 5 people were rescued from inside a foreign-registered truck that was being driven north along the A7 motorway.

The discovery happened shortly before 09:00 when the driver of the truck became aware of unusual noises coming from inside the trailer. The driver contacted the police. A subsequent inspection discovered five people, who were described as not of European origin, were inside the trailer.

The Department of Aliens of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Grand Ducal Police was informed of the incident and the five immigrants were transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' refugee centre.
