Band arrested after illegal immigrants found hiding in speakers
Ben Waldock, Josh Reed and Ben Dowling, all 18, who play in the band Criminal Mind, were stopped by officials as they drove through Dover.
Customs officers discovered four Vietnamese immigrants hiding inside their speakers and the band were arrested and held in cells for nine hours.
It is believed the band's Czech driver, who spoke little English, picked up the illegal immigrants as they returned from two gigs in the Czech Republic.
Criminal Mind were eventually released without charge while their 25-year-old driver has been charged with facilitating entry by asylum seekers.
Drummer Ben Waldock, who lives in Bishop Sutton, Somerset, said he was ''scared'' when police locked him in a cell last month.
