A man found walking on the M25 has been arrested on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant.

Surrey Police found the man near Cobham just before 10am on Wednesday, May 20.

Surrey Road Cops tweeted: “Unit found a chap walking on the hard shoulder of the #M25 near Cobham. It is suspected he is an illegal immigrant, so has been arrested.”

People are regularly found near to Cobham Services and arrested on suspicion of illegal entry.

Last month, five people were found in the back of a lorry and, in March, 17 people were arrested after reports they had jumped out of the back of a lorry.

Another 17 people were detained at the services in December.
