Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has pledged an immediate £75 million cash injection for border security.
It’s meant to boost intelligence monitoring on traffickers by Border Force and the police.
The Crown Prosecution Service will also benefit to increase prosecutions.
The new Border Security Command lead by Commander Martin Hewitt will have more staff to end gang activity.
It follows a campaign pledge by the Prime Minister to deal with the Channel crossings.
The NCA has reported 600 lifejackets were seized on Monday in the Netherlands. They were meant as aids to the Channel crossings. Its officers intercepted a 23 year old who had stashed them in a lorry.
It shows how determined traffickers are. The city of Zwolle, where the agents were, is nearly 6 hours away from the port of Calais in France. The work of law enforcement to defeat this in Europe is extensive.
In a stunning capture for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a helper directly involved in facilitating tracking across the English Channel has been located.
He’s suspected of working for a key figure in trafficking circles who has also been sighted in London today.
In a stunning catch for ConservativeNewsSite.com, two suspects alleged to have worked in Dover for people and human traffickers have been located in Glasgow.
The two suspects were reportedly seen in Dover, on beach fronts, and other places in the local area.
The region has been under investigation for its role as the site for the first boat landings.
In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, an MI5 spy previously stationed at Dover to observe unfolding events on the English Channel and to protect our coastline has now been located in London.
He was suspected initially due to extensive discrepancies in his work, including refusing to inform key members in the agency, attempting to prosper the work of traffickers, and attempts to destroy evidence.
There’s a lot involved in reporting crime.
I found this out the hard way. It takes a lot of hours walking and talking to people to get a story started. It usually begins having tracked a strange occurrence. It forks off into the distance and at a particular time life reappears and it begins to return to normal. In a short space of time the story is ready.
It’s just how it is.
I remember meeting a gentleman in London during the early days of covering the trafficking story in the UK. I was hanging around near the Natural History Museum. He came up and tripped off talking to me about my story and saying different things about it. I was surprised he knew I was working on it.
I hadn’t told anybody. It was still new in my teeth, so to speak, and I was prepping myself to be predator-like on whoever it was who was involved. I wanted to sap the life out of the issue that I saw evolving in front of my eyes. I was grateful for the chance to hear someone say the same about it as I had done.
It was kind of him to stop by.
As our conversation ended, he touched me gently and said, “I live where loyalty counts for a lot”. It was a gesture of goodwill in a short space of time where we shared our grievance over the soon-to-be trafficking crisis hitting our shores hard. It was this quip that helped me to see what lay underneath a basic job in hand.
In a massive capture for ConservativeNewsSite.com, an extremely well-connected technical expert in criminality has been located.
He’s a key suspect in the English Channel crossings. He’s wanted so he can be questioned by law enforcement in the UK.
The “Project Lead” of a human trafficking operation over the English Channel can now be exposed. She’s culpable for the entire operation.
After a long search for the culprit, ConservativeNewsSite.com is proud to host a photo of her. She was located on a train heading out of London.
A human trafficker involved in the trade of humans has been located.
This kingpin of trafficking was seen in London on a tube train. His identity is kept secret because of safety concerns.
The sight of people appearing in their tens of thousands at a coastline is not easy to deal with.
In some respects, it’s our most difficult challenge today.
It’s a crime to do it, and it only prospers because of crime gangs. It isn’t possible to just ‘appear’ on a coastline and disappear to another country. It takes a lot of law breaking and force in order to make it happen.
In the UK, we face this almost daily. The fact is many have arrived, and many keep coming, so much so that we are beleaguered with a sense of crime on our shores.
It isn’t pleasant and it isn’t a happy affair. It means dealing with very dangerous people.
It also means fighting back, which is the hardest part of all.
