MADRID. — Spanish police said on Thursday they found a would-be migrant squashed into a hidden compartment under the dashboard of a car that was attempting to enter Spain’s North African enclave of Melilla from Morocco.
Officers stripped down the BMW sedan after noticing it was being driven by two young men they suspected of being people smugglers.
Police said during their search they detected a heart beating.
They “carried out an exhaustive search and found a false compartment inside the dashboard,” from where the 19-year-old Guinean migrant emerged “in a very bad physical state,” police said. They said the teenager was hospitalised. The two suspected smugglers fled the scene. But one of them, a Spaniard aged 23, was later arrested. — AFP.
