The Egyptian boy had entered the box in Calais, and the video below shows police discovering him in Newbury, Berkshire.
According to the BBC report:
A couple returning from France say they were shocked to find a migrant hiding in their car roof box.
Simon Fenton and his wife Sally, from Newbury, Berkshire, found the 17-year-old boy stowed in the roof box on Saturday after travelling home from Calais, France.
Mr Fenton said he spotted the boy after seeing two feet stick out the box.
Thames Valley Police said a 17-year-old had been arrested on suspicion of immigration offences.
Describing the discovery, Mr Fenton said: “We had been home for about 10 minutes when my wife Sally told me to come quick. “And there are two feet sticking out from the side of the roof box and thumping coming from inside, and neither of us registered what was going on.”
“And then a little hand came out and we saw somebody in there.
“That was a bit of shock to think they must have been in there since Calais.”
