Suspected human traffickers have been arrested in the United Kingdom on charges of facilitating the illegal entry of migrants into the country, and breaching immigration laws, V4NA writes.

According to the Home Office, the group – consisting of five men and one woman – is suspected of being part of a smuggling ring that helped more than 200 Botswanan nationals enter the UK illegally over a two-year period.
Upon arrival, the migrants were allegedly provided with false documents and identities to support fraudulent asylum claims. The suspects also reportedly helped place the migrants in care homes, despite their lack of qualifications or medical expertise.
The arrests were carried out across the country, including in Cheltenham, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Bradford. Among those detained is the 37-year-old Botswanan leader of the group.
The raid forms part of the “Plan for Change”, a long-term national development strategy centered on a stable economy, secure borders, and national security.
“The government continues to take firm action against illegal migration and the criminal enterprises that enable it. Through the Plan for Change, we are restoring order to the asylum system, which in recent years has collapsed,”
Security Minister Dan Jarvis said.
