Arrests in £1m mobile phone heist

Thirteen people have been arrested after a lorry carrying mobile phones valued at £1m was hijacked at gunpoint on the M5.

The driver of the lorry was heading north near Frankly Services in Worcestershire when another vehicle flashed its lights at him.

When he stopped at the services a gun was pointed at him and he was told to drive to Wolverhampton.

The police arrived as the mobile phones were being unloaded.

The lorry driver, from West Bromwich, who is thought to be in his 40s, was badly shaken although not physically injured.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious at the services at about 1600 BST on Tuesday.
