Two men have been arrested on suspicion of entering the UK illegally after officers pulled over a lorry transporting Ferraris.

After telling officers they were from Iraq, the men were taken to Romford Police station for further questioning.
An Essex Police spokesman said: “Police were called to reports of people in the back of a lorry on the M25 at around 12.55pm.
“Officers attended and two people were arrested.”
