'GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!'
Moment furious Brit finds two migrants hiding in car roof box while holidaying in France
THIS is the moment a furious Brit discovered two migrants hiding in his car roof box
The pair, both 16 and from Eritrea and Guinea, had broken into the box of a Brit-registered BMW in Calais hoping to reach Britain - but ended up heading 100 miles further back into France.

But the Midlands couple in the car had only just arrived and the migrants only realised when they jumped out at a French motorway services.
Footage of the incident shows the fuming family accusing the migrants of breaking the roof box and asking whether they'd stolen anything.
"What the f*** are you doing, you c***," the man named 'Colin' says before telling one to "get out of my sight".
His shocked partner can be heard panicking that the pair had taken the couple's keys before claiming items had been removed from the roof box to make space for the two stowaways.
"Where's all our stuff... empty your pockets", Colin shouts.
The couple later find their laptops inside their car but can be heard saying "the wood's all gone" and the migrants try to avoid the camera.
The couple alerted police who were quickly at the scene and when they opened the roof box they were shocked to find the migrants inside dehydrated but otherwise unhurt.

A police source said: “We always have migrants trying to head to Britain but in this case they were heading even further away.”
A police source said:''The British couple are from central England and had stopped for the night in Calais for the night after arriving on the Eurotunnel.
''The next morning they got up and started driving towards the Vendee for their holiday when after about 100 miles they heard noises and so they pulled over at a service station.
''Police were called and a motorcycle unit arrived on scene and when they opened the box they found the two sixteen year old migrants - one from Guinea and one from Eritrea.
''The two migrants had seen the British registered BMW and assumed it was going back to Britain but instead it was heading away into France. The local prosecutor has been informed as the couple filed a complaint about their stolen belongings.
''For us it was also very unusual as we always have migrants trying to head to Britain from France but in this case they were heading even further away - about 160lm further than where they had started.''

The two were handed over to local migrant charity but they refused to take them and it was unclear where they were.
So far this year, more than 3,000 migrants have reached the UK on boats.
Last week, two were rescued mid-Channel on a paddleboard.
