I’ve never seen anything like this in my f***** life.

Eyewitness

The driver of the vehicle from which it was shot exclaims “no way” as the middle-aged driver, wearing a yellow t-shirt and jeans, opens the back doors to reveal several people hiding amongst his cargo of fruit. 

Over the next 45 seconds a young man carrying a smartphone and wearing a silver bracelet gets hops out and walks away before being followed by a young woman in a headscarf. 

A man in a red jacket, who stays in the truck, then helps down an elderly looking lady, also in a headscarf, before finally a middle-aged man wearing a shirt and carrying a hold-all exits the vehicle. 

As the shocking scene unfolds in front of him, the stunned driver in the car behind exclaims: “No way. He’s letting them out. Oh, I’ve never seen anything like this in my f***** life.” 

When contacted, a spokesman for Kent Police refused to comment and suggested calling back tomorrow. 

The Home Office has been contacted for comment.
