MailOnline photographer's car was pelted with rocks at gates of camp - where at least six British cars were parked

Gang believed to be using cars to smuggle migrants - which attract less attention at customs. Police claim some are even hidden in suitcases

Mayor said 30 British cars have been seized in the last year including a £70,000 Jaguar - but police have so far failed to make an arrest

Offering an obscene gesture, the driver of a British-registered VW Passat speeds out of a migrant camp in northern France where London gangsters are believed to be offering one-way illegal passages across the Channel for £1,200 cash.

His aggressive sign was followed by violence, including rocks being thrown at a MailOnline photographer's car by others around the camp.

It follows similarly dramatic scenes at the same camp in Teteghem, near Dunkirk, on Monday when UKIP MEP Mike Hookem was allegedly threatened with a gun as he tried to visit.

Claim: UKIP MEP Mike Hookem (pictured with the local mayor) took to Twitter yesterday to say he'd reported the gun incident to police in Dunkirk

Call the police: Mr Hookem has not elaborated on the circumstances of the incident, but his claims come as towns and cities in northern France struggle to cope with an influx of migrants hoping to reach Britain

This is the moment Mike Hookem claims a migrant threatened him with a handgun as he visited a camp on the outskirts of Dunkirk. The UKIP MEP and defence spokesman said his group were invited to access a woodland site by the migrants but claimed the 'situation immediately turned nasty'


On the tracks: Thousands of desperate people fleeing conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa have made they way to ports such as Calais - just 30 miles from Dunkirk

‘After three or four tries the smugglers ask them to pay again, it's a lot of money, it is €1,500 for one crossing.’
