25 Sikhs found hiding in truck in Belgium

LONDON (TIP): At least 25 illegal Sikh immigrants, including children, were found hiding in a secret compartment of a Romanian truck transporting onions by police at an industrial zone in Belgium.

On a tip-off about human trafficking, police stopped a Romanian lorry on Wednesday and found 25 Sikhs aged between 2 and 88 squashed together in a secret compartment. “Behind a whole load of onions in the hold we discovered a self-made cage. The cage was no bigger than 4 square metres, but contained 25 people of Sikh origins, all squashed together,” a local official said.
