Chaos in Calais as 150 Migrants STORM Channel Tunnel in Desperate Bid to Get Into Britain
4th July 2015
Security inside the undersea link was once more brought into question as traffic was disruption as some 150 mainly young men tried to get on board UK-bound freight trains just after 10.30pm local time.
“From 10:30pm, around 150 migrants attempted to enter the platforms,” a Calais spokesman said.
Police confirmed: “Riot officers had to intervene to restore orde. Services were disrupted until the very early hours. There are attempts to get into the Tunnel pretty much every night, but this was one of the worse,” the spokesman added.
A Eurotunnel spokesman added that it “suffers from attempted intrusions every night”.
