- Police made 362 arrests in a five-day UK crackdown on illegal trade and organised immigration crime, seizing more than £1m in cash and over £700k of illegal tobacco and vapes.
- Raids focused on high-street businesses—barber shops, vape shops, car washes, food premises and nail salons—often used by gangs to hide illegal working and launder money.
- The multi-agency operation (police, Home Office, Immigration Enforcement, Trading Standards) found 57 migrants who crossed the Channel; small-boat arrivals this year are 11,638, about 37% lower than the same period last year.
