“After stopping a vehicle with a brake light out, the usual fantastical stories came flowing from the driver’s mouth. Unfortunately we are well versed in the art of deception and his story was soon unpicked.
“After further suspicions came forward, it was time to check with our friends at immigration, and unfortunately for our two new passengers, there were no records of either of them ever entering the country legally.”
