The suspected migrants were rumbled at lunchtime today at a business park in Ashford, Kent.
Nick Hanson, who owns Ashbury Furniture, said: "I walked out of the front of my shop when I saw a Romanian lorry wave down by a police van.
"The door was undone and the people in the back got out.
"There were four or five people on board, and they all looked ok.
"The police locked them up in the back of the van and let the lorry go.

"They must have led the lorry here, because it's unusual for a lorry to drive up with a police van behind it, it hasn't happened here before.
"A lot of foreign lorries do park here, and with migrants getting on lorries it is an ongoing problem.
"This estate is terrible for lorries parking up and doing all sorts of things, but a surveillance camera has been put up here recently.

"There is no one hiding in the wardrobes in my shop, I've checked."
A Kent Police spokesperson said: "Police were alerted at 1pm to reports that four people were in the back of a Romanian registered lorry in the Ashford Business Park.
