A stowaway who sneaked into the country on a school coach is still on the run and may be in the Berkhamsted area.
Pupils from Abbot's Hill School in Hemel Hempstead had just arrived home from a foreign trip when an Asian man ran from under their coach and disappeared into the school's 76 acres of parkland.
Police were called to the scene but the man could not be found.
Two weeks later, Hertfordshire Police say that the stowaway is still on the run.
The Year 9 pupils from the private girls' school had spent four days in France and Belgium, touring the battlefields of World War I.
The man is believed to have stowed away at Calais and is thought to have attached himself to the underside of the coach.

ReportThat's pretty scary, where did he hide himself? To be under a coach for that long must have been terrifying. It's amazing the lengths people are going to just to get into Britain.
