This was the (slightly damp) scene when Northamptonshire's finest swooped on the Repsol Honda and Sports Mediaset MotoGP trucks on Silverstone's Stowe Straight yesterday.

The Feds were searching for illegal immigrants that stowed (geddit?) away on the trucks as they crossed the channel and it is believed one was found after a tip-off sent the Towcester Sweeney flying into the circuit. No-one from the team was available for comment or even knew this had happened.
