A man and a woman have been arrested in Northern Ireland in an operation targeting a suspected people-smuggling gang.
A 40-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man were arrested as around 50 officers from the UK Government’s Immigration Enforcement team and the Police Service of Northern Ireland searched two properties in Belfast.
The pair, both described as naturalised British citizens, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration of non-UK nationals.
