That is probably the reason. My first theory was, that they didn't called the police, cause they was afraid of the police. So they could be sure that there will be some public interest, that forces the police to be carefull. On the other hand public interest may increase the chance not being deoported.
But your theory sounds trustworthier. Especially in such a situation, you probably don't overthink it, but call for help.
I'd imagine 112 would be the first place to call in that case. Surely they have someone there speaking English
What is 112? The caller was not in the lorry, and probably was not in France (assuming 112 is a French emergency number).
International emergency number, it should always connect to emergency services, even in places with a different emergency number
Thanks. I did not know it existed. And will never be able to remember it. But good to know it exists.
