Men discovered in chocolate lorry

Fifteen suspected illegal immigrants have been found "covered in cocoa powder" in the back of a lorry as it arrived at the Mars factory in Slough.

Police were called to the site in Cambridge Avenue by an employee who made the discovery at 1040 GMT.

The 37-tonne lorry was packed with chocolate crumb to be used to create chocolate bars like Mars and Snickers.

The 15 men were arrested and are being questioned. The Hungarian lorry driver was also held.

A police spokesman said none of the men were injured.

A spokesman for the UK Border Agency confirmed the men were "covered in cocoa powder" when they were discovered.

A Mars spokesperson said: "We can confirm a number of people were found hiding in a tanker operated by a third party haulier that had arrived at our factory.

"We immediately informed police who are now investigating the matter."

A second lorry, not linked to the Mars factory, was also stopped nearby where three suspected illegal immigrants were arrested.

I didn't know we had factories on Mars!!

'A Mars a Day helps you work rest and play'.......they should hand one out to all the work-shy people, and people that work long hours to make a living for a little rest and not for getting overweight people so they can play more and loose a few pounds.
