UK Seizes Massive Smuggling Cache | Sheffield News

UK authorities pull off major smuggling bust in Felixstowe, seizing 25 inflatable boats and 25 engines bound for Europe — the largest such seizure in the country. The shipment, from China, was intercepted by the National Crime Agency and Border Force, targeting criminal networks that use Germany as a hub to fuel dangerous Channel crossings. This crackdown is part of a broader strategy that’s already confiscated over 1,500 boats and engines and is tracking more than 100 suspects. While arrivals via the Channel remain high — over 77,000 since last July — recent data shows a decline compared to previous years, signaling that law enforcement’s supply-line targeting is starting to pay off.
