Two men are arrested in early morning raids by police investigating an Albanian organised crime gang.
Two suspected ringleaders of a gang accused of smuggling migrants, including a convicted rapist, into the UK have been arrested.
The National Crime Agency allege the group charged between £2,500 and £7,500 to bring migrants to the UK.The men, who were detained in early morning raids, were thought to be part of an Albanian organised crime group.This included a group of 46 predominantly Albanian migrants, including young children, who were on a boat that arrived from France last August.
The group is also accused of using lorries to smuggle people into the country on three occasions between October and November last year, travelling from Coquelles, France, and stopping to drop them off at service stations on the M25 at Cobham in Surrey, and in Thurrock in Essex.
