Our dedicated modern slavery and organised immigration team are investigating organised criminal networks based in Manchester, suspected to be involved in smuggling people into the UK, and this morning (10/06/2025) they have conducted a series of 15 warrants, with support from officers across the force and partners from Immigration Enforcement.
A number of the locations targeted were local businesses including a travel agent, money exchange business, mini-mart, and takeaway. Warrants were also executed at residential addresses.
We arrested eight men and two women – aged between 19 and 52 - on suspicion of conspiracy to facilitate a breach of immigration law by assisting illegal entry into the UK, conspiracy to money launder, and participating in the activities of an organised crime group.
A significant quantity of cash, documents, and electronic devices were seized and will be examined as part of our investigation.
All of the suspects are believed to be linked, utilising their business means and services to plan and assist the illegal entry of migrants into the UK through falsifying travel documents and putting travel plans in place for them. They remain in police custody for questioning.
This investigation is supported by our partners in HRMC, the Home Office’s Immigration Criminal and Financial Investigation (CFI) teams, and Trading Standards.
Today’s action was executed by officers from across the force, including our district Challenger teams. Programme Challenger is Greater Manchester’s partnership response to serious and organised crime.
Detective Chief Superintendent John Griffith, our Head of Intelligence, said: “Today’s activity forms part of a complex investigation which commenced after an individual was stopped at Manchester Airport late last year.
“We’re gathering more intelligence into organised immigration crime than ever before, and while this crime type tends to be hidden from society, our investigations are unravelling how criminal networks are operating in plain sight through high street businesses.
"In Manchester we are committed to a whole system approach in addressing organised immigration crime, working alongside our partners we are dismantling the infrastructures that supports illegal entry into the UK. All regions are affected by organised immigration crime, this is not solely a maritime issue, and it is important we respond collectively, recognising the public’s concern regarding UK border security and illegal entry.
"Through collective partnership intensification we can impact the ‘grey’ economy which underpins and facilitates this criminal activity, identify criminal facilitators of this crime and improve public confidence.
“These criminals are exploiting the world’s most vulnerable individuals, putting them at risk of exploitation once they arrive in the UK, charging large sums of money for their illegal services, and undermining our immigration system.
“This criminality is not permitted in Greater Manchester, and we are taking action at the earliest opportunity to identify, trace, and bring suspects into custody while providing safeguarding measures as and when required.
“We have also trained many of our frontline officers on identifying signs of immigration crime and providing an initial response.
“Recognising these signs can help protect those at risk and disrupt criminal activities.
“We encourage anyone with concerns about businesses in their communities appearing to be lucrative without any footfall, or anyone who has information about someone planning to illegally enter the UK to report it to police on 101 or through our online services.
“Always dial 999 in an emergency. Reports can be made anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
“Any concerns about individuals who may be victims of exploitation or Modern Slavery can be reported online at Modern Slavery Helpline or by ringing the Modern Slavery and Exploitation helpline on 08000 121 700."
Immigration Enforcement Criminal and Financial Investigations lead, Mark Stephens said: “We work with the police to take down the organised criminal gangs who operate on our streets, disguising their criminality through businesses and exploiting vulnerable people.
“This is a complex investigation led by Greater Manchester Police, which has taken another gang off our streets.
“Being able to support Greater Manchester Police to help keep our streets safe and borders protected is so important, making sure people who undermine our immigration laws face justice.”
Special thanks to Laura.

Dedicato a coloro che pensano che un soffio di vento possa raggiungere l’infinito e che l’orgoglio rende cieco il mondo. Dedicato a chi vorrebbe avere un paio di ali per vedere il mistero che ci circonda.
Per chi pensa che il mistero sia solo quello che non vogliamo vedere. E a chi pensa che tutto può essere scoperto e perduto.
I sogni sono le spinte verso il futuro, che profumano di speranza e mistero, ma la speranza la creiamo noi, dal desiderio di non arrenderci mai.
Dedicated on the Derby Green in Derby, Conn. on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014. The monument includes a steel beam from the World Trade Center.
make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration
of free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) in digital arts.
The second edition of make art takes place in Poitiers (France),
from the 3rd to the 8th of April 2007.
make art offers performances, exhibitions, lectures and workshops,
focused on the blurred line between art and software programming.
The event is dedicated to artists who create their own tools, and
apply the same rules to art as to free software development.
-
Besides the purely technical and legal aspects of free sofware, there is our society's social and economical future at stake. A generation born during the technological boom, a generation that understands the ins and outs of electronic power struggles in the post-industrial societies, is living in a world that is hardly compatible with today's economics.
At a time when intellectual property is fiercely debated, while some people cling on to their little bits of territory, others have chosen to share knowledge, art and networks.
make art constitutes a tool for reflecting on the propagation of free software in artistic creation and we want it to be a view onto the social, political and economic myths and realities linked to this phenomenon.

“A true people‘s Champion”
The Gothic style cathedral is dedicated to Saint-Corentin, patron saint of Quimper and first bishop of the city. It was built on the foundations of a Romanesque church. Its construction, begun in 1239, took place over several centuries. It was only in 1856 that the two 76 meter high stone spiers were built. They are largely inspired by that of the Notre Dame de Roscudon church in Pont-Croix, dating from the mid-15th century. Between its two spiers sits King Gradlon, the king of Cornwall.
Masters of the Impossible,
creators of an unprecedented phenomenon in the theatrical arts.
As the pioneers of family entertainment in Las Vegas,
they have changed the course of its history and
have become the city's all time premier attraction.
Furthermore, they have made conservation history in providing
tireless and dedicated leadership to help preserve nature's
endangered white tigers for future generations.
