Fine cancelled for Essex couple who found migrant on motorhome
BBC News, Essex

A couple was fined £1,500 after reporting a migrant clutched to the bike rack on the RV and was told the fine had been cancelled.
The Home Office has ordered Adrian and Joanne Fenton of Heybridge, Essex, to fine “failed to check that there are no secret contestants in the vehicle when crossing the British channel”.
Mr Fenton said the border forces now told him his objections to responsibility and reduced the fine to £0.
Mrs. Fenton said she was “ecstatic” about the changes in the Home Office.
Mr. Fenton, 57, boarded the Lebane from Calais Island on the evening of October 15 after traveling in France on the evening of October 15.
Mrs. Fenton, 55, told JVS performs on BBC three counties broadcast After a six-hour drive, her husband unbuttoned the cover of the bicycle rack and found the immigrants inside.

The couple said they called police and told them they had found the storage room.
Mrs. Fenton said the boy later told police he was 16 years old and from Sudan.
Then, they received an email saying they were fined.
Mrs. Fenton argued that the man had been insisting on being outside the RV, not inside.
Mr. Felton said he thought he did the right thing by calling the police.

The couple now received an email from Border Forces, which is part of the Home Office, reducing the fine to £0.
Mrs. Fenton said: “It’s about RVs and caravans that cross the border – how many people will be caught by how many?”

Her husband added: “We don’t want others to go through everything we go through.
“If someone calls the police for finding someone in an RV, the border forces shouldn’t even consider fines because everyone is doing moral and right things.”
He said the Home Office should be “looking into their policies and making sure it is suitable for the purpose rather than for holidaymakers.”
Mrs. Fenton said the couple will still take their RV abroad, but “very careful – no cover on the bike rack.”
