Migrants trying to break into Eurotunnel as low as 100 a night

The number of migrants trying to get into the Eurotunnel terminal near Calais has fallen to as few as 100 a night, the operator has said.

Some 2,000 migrants were attempting to break into the tunnel each night at the end of July in a desperate effort to reach Britain.

However, the number of attempted break-ins now varies between 100 and 200 a night, Eurotunnel said, after security was stepped up at the port.
