Werl (dpa / lnw) - Police officers stopped a truck on the Autobahn near Werl, whose tarpaulin is said to have been waved out. The incident happened on Friday afternoon on the A44, officials said. Several road users had reported. Motorway police officers reportedly stopped the trailer truck at a rest area. Five people who did not have a German passport were then found on the loading area, according to the police. They had probably been on the loading area for a long time. The police took her and the driver into custody.
It will now be determined whether the driver knew about the people on the loading area. The immigration authorities were also informed, according to the police. The identity of the five people found is not yet clear, said a police spokesman in the evening.
