It is, however, a popular stop-off for truck drivers that have travelled over from France, and illegal immigrants that have stowed away on trucks are taking advantage of the opportunity to succeed in their escape.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Hurley, Surrey\u2019s police and crime commissioner, revealed that Surrey police have caught 156 illegal immigrants escaping from lorries at the services in recent months. But, inevitably, this is the tip of the iceberg.
