(BBC) A child was among five migrants found hiding on board a vessel destined for Dover, the Home Office has said.
In a statement on Monday evening, it said Kent emergency services, supported by Border Force, were dealing with an “ongoing” incident.
South East Coast Ambulance Service said it was called to Dover Western Docks at about 23:30 BST on Sunday.
The Home Office said the five migrants, who presented as Moroccan nationals, were all “fit and healthy.”
It said the ship had berthed and further searches were underway “as a precautionary measure.”
