Four migrants discovered hidden inside boot, bonnet and dashboard at Melilla border
Border police discovered four migrants hidden within one car after it sped through the border crossing into Spain from Morocco.
The driver and a passenger drove at speed past police officers at the Beni-Enzar checkpoint before abandoning the car at a petrol station and running off.
Officers examined the car to find two men were cramped inside the car boot, while another was curled up inside the bonnet. A woman was then found squeezed inside the car dashboard.
