(NewsCore) - A British punk rock band was arrested for alleged human trafficking after illegal immigrants hid inside their speakers in a bid to sneak into the U.K, the Bristol Evening Post reported Monday.
Ben Waldock, Josh Reed and Ben Dowling, all 18 -- members of ' Criminal Mind ' -- were stopped as they arrived in the British port of Dover after a European tour.
Customs officers discovered four Vietnamese stowaways hiding inside their speakers.
The band's Czech driver had allegedly picked up the illegal immigrants as they returned from two gigs in the Czech Republic.
The four musicians were eventually released without charge when they managed to convince officials they had nothing to do with the bizarre plot.
Waldock, the band's drummer, told the Post he suspected something was amiss on the journey home when his bag of cheese and onion crisps mysteriously disappeared.
"The customs guy said to us 'your luggage is fine but what's with all the Vietnamese in your van?'" added Dowling, the bassist.
The band's 25-year-old driver was charged with immigration offenses.
