A TWELVE strong team of police officers and staff, are currently in Vietnam to meet the families impacted by the death of 39 illegal immigrants whose bodies were found in a lorry in West Thurrock in October 2019.

They will be in the country until the end of February and are working closely with the British Embassy and National Crime Agency international liaison staff in Hanoi, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, who have assisted with the arrangements for this trip.

A statement from Essex Police says: "Specialist officers from the National Crime Agency and officers from the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security will be joining the Essex Police team on the visits, and we have been working closely with both agencies throughout this investigation."
