Two Irish men arrested in connection with human trafficking in Britain

The 64-year-old driver of the vehicle – originally from Glasgow – was arrested by Belgian authorities and a 30-year-old man in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, was also detained.

Two Irish men have been charged in the UK as part of an investigation into alleged human trafficking.

Wayne Sherlock, 39, and Eoin Nowlan, 48, were arrested in Dover, Kent, England, following the discovery of 10 migrants in a lorry carrying tyres near the Belgian city of Ghent.
