Six migrants have been detained in a Rutland village and handed over to the Home Office.

Leicestershire Police were called to the A1 by Greetham yesterday (Thur) following sightings of them.

A police spokesman said today, the suspected migrants were detained on suspicion of immigration offences and handed over to the immigration service.

This followed sightings of around ten men in the Greetham area last Thursday (October 29), as previously reported by Nub News.
