Six Iranians have been arrested on suspicion of entering the UK illegally after being found in the back of a lorry at a Hampshire service station.

Two men, aged 35 and 25, two women, aged 34 and 25, and two children were arrested in the early hours at Stoney Cross Services on the A31.

The 25-year-old woman remains detained and is being questioned by Home Office immigration enforcement officers.

The others have been temporarily released.

They must report to the Home Office regularly while their cases are considered, a spokeswoman said.

She added the group included two families.
