A man who smuggled two Vietnamese nationals into the UK in the boot of his car to clear a gambling debt is wanted again by police.
Gavin Charters, 42, from Netherton, was arrested in Coquelles in France by Border Force officers in February 2019 after a man and woman were found in his boot. Charters told officers he had been in France to meet a friend and go fishing - but there was no fishing equipment in his car and he was unable to reveal who he had met.
He later absconded from bail prompting a manhunt. Immigration Enforcement's Criminal and Financial Fugitive Active Search Team, part of the Home Office, worked alongside Merseyside and Essex Police to track him to an address in Clacton-on-Sea.
