Paris smugglers offering migrants Lidl trucks to get into UK
Illegal migrants are being offered Channel crossings in the back of a Lidl supermarket lorry for thousands of pounds.
BBC South East has found people smugglers who operated in the Calais migrant camp are continuing their activities in daylight in Paris.
An agent for the gang said: "For an Iranian it will not be less than £5,000, but for Afghans it is £3,000."
Lidl said it had asked it haulier firms to conduct urgent investigations.
In a statement, Lidl said it "does not tolerate the facilitation of people smuggling through its international transport network" and has "robust procedures" in place with its hauliers.
