National Crime Agency officers have arrested a man in Preston as part of an investigation into an organised crime network suspected of orchestrating Channel crossings.
An arrest has been made in Preston by National Crime Agency officers in connection with a large investigation into an organised crime network suspected of organising cross-Channel small boat crossings. Officers arrested Amanj Hasan Zada on May 5, with the 38-year-old, who claimed to be an Iraqi national, detained on suspicion of facilitating illegal immigration to the UK early this morning in the Stefano Road area of Preston.
The individual arrested is suspected of being a facilitator for migrants wishing to travel from Turkey to the UK, advertising people smuggling services on social media. Following his arrest, he was questioned by NCA investigators and charged with two counts of facilitating illegal immigration, in relation to the two aforementioned crossings made from France to the UK in November and December 2023.
