A joint visit by Kent Police, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement was carried out in Thanet today (June 11).
Officers from the Community Policing Team in Margate and representatives from Home Office Immigration Enforcement were in Cliftonville and also attended a business property in Ramsgate Road, Margate, as part of a welfare check.
The visits are aimed at checking and informing businesses which could be vulnerable to human trafficking and modern slavery
No criminal offences were identified.
I hope they had full PPE! Otherwise they could have become spreaders of the virus.
And this is news because?…
Because if action was taken it would make the news so why not let people know that all is in order despite the visit? People saw the immigration vans and assumptions could be made without the facts
What an extraordinary thing to say!
Thank you Kathy, for keeping us informed of local news.
