PHOTOS: Illegal immigrants found hidden behind the bumper of cars in Morocco

These shocking pictures show the extent illegal immigrants and their 'human traffickers' will go to in their bid for a new life in Europe. Police have released shocking photographs of migrants hidden inside the bumpers of cars as mafia groups charge huge amounts to smuggle them from Africa into Spain.

Three vehicles were stopped within the space of 24 hours and youngsters aged only 15 and 16 released from their precarious position underneath the axis.

All the vehicles had hidden compartments and stowaways are normally found in the dashboards or in spaces between the back seats and boot.

On these occasions, however, they were found lying sidewards and literally wedged between the car's bodywork and the bumper which concealed their bodies. From the naked eye, everything looked completely normal.
