Just Moving Tires to Calais (1x5)

Ausstrahlung: Okt 07, 2008

It’s 8am and Immigration Officer Bridgette McCarthy gets a call on the radio. There’s a lorry crammed with car tyres that’s about to board a ferry any second but they suspect it may also have people hiding deep inside. Bridgette’s team rush over, and after clambering over hundred of tyres they find 7 Indian men. Minutes later there’s another call about another lorry ready to board a ferry. They find 8 Eritreans. A third call comes in. It’s getting frenetic. A Vietnamese family has been discovered inside a lorry. Scarily, to try and avoid detection the officers’ CO2 detectors, the family have been wearing black bin liners over their heads. This is already the busiest morning at Calais in the series. And then to top it off there’s a fourth call. Bridgette’s team pick up 4 clandestines hiding in a luxury yacht. The yacht isn’t on the sea, it’s part of a shipment of luxury boats being transported inside a lorry.
