An ingenious illegal immigrant who
disguised as a car seat in order to gain entrance into Spain has been caught by
Guardia Civil officers. The
20-year-old man from Guinea was hidden inside a Renault 7’s passenger seat,
with the co-driver sat on top of him while attempting to sneak into the Spanish
enclave of Melilla from Morocco over the Beni-Enzar crossing on Friday.

The
insides of the seat had been discarded, leaving only the frame which he slid
into. The security officers had to help the man out of his hiding place.
Although
arrested, the security respected the Guinean’s ingenuity describing his attempt
to pass undetected as ‘unique and innovative’.
