The head of the Border Security Command has pledged to dismantle international smuggling gangs, calling for a united global effort to end their deadly trade. “I know from my 30 years in the police just how extensive international criminal networks can be, spanning continents to peddle their illegal trade. People smuggling gangs are no different,” he said.
“As with all organised crime, there is a terrible human cost to the activities of those smuggling men, women and children across borders.”
