Unusual End to a School Trip

Staff and students from a school in Ilford, Essex had a very unusual end to their day trip to Calais, France, when their coach driver heard noises coming from underneath the vehicle as they returned around 7pm one evening in June 2014. The driver suspected he was carrying a stowaway and so drove the coach to Ilford Police Station, where police discovered a 16-year-old from Sudan 'attached to the chassis'.

It is believed he sneaked under the bus in Calais and managed to hold on for 107 miles - until he was caught. Police arrested the teen, who had no ID documents with him, but said he was originally from Sudan, on suspicion of illegal entry into the UK.
