MIGRANTS SITTING BY A POLICE CAR COVERED BY BLANKETS JUST AFTER ARRIVING AT A SOUTH COAST BEACH IN OCTOBER 2019 WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT PRESENT
Police believe that a small number of people may have left the beach and dispersed following the landing of two rigid inflatable boats containing suspected illegal immigrants in the Pett Level area on Thursday morning October 3rd 2019. It is thought they probably crossed the English Channel from France overnight, coming ashore Toot Rock in Pett Level . These images were taken as 17 migrants, including men, women and children, were detained by Police and immigration officials, but a few others from the Winchelsea landing are thought to have disappeared into the surrounding countryside. Some needed ambulance treatment at the scene. Detective Inspector Jon Gillings, of Hastings police, said: “Two of those detained required medical treatment and we are concerned that one or two others still outstanding may also be in need of assistance.
