A lorry driver has been released on police bail after seven people were rescued from the back of lorry at a service station near Huntingdon.
Officers were called to Brampton Services on Monday night after reports of shouting and banging coming from the vehicle.
Cambridgeshire Police posted on Facebook to say the men were found 'sat 10-12ft up on top of pallets of Nutella' inside a parked white Scania lorry.
They were released by firefighters, checked over by paramedics and taken to the Police Investigation Centre in King’s Lynn, before being transferred to the immigration service.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of facilitating illegal entry into the UK.
The 44-year-old man has since been bailed, to return to the police station next year.
