Stowaway Moroccan found squeezed between car seats and boot

A MAN who crammed himself into a space police describe as ‘one of the smallest spaces they had ever seen’ for a stowaway has failed to smuggle his way into Spain.

The Moroccan squeezed into a hidden compartment between the back seats of a car and the boot, and was nearly poisoned after inhaling exhaust fumes.

But Algeciras border police foiled his attempt to enter the country from Tangier, telling the media the car had been ‘extensively modified’, and that the man was lucky to escape with his life.

The car was driven by a Spaniard who has been arrested.
