    Law enforcement partners across Europe have seized around 600 dangerous lifejackets destined for use by organised crime groups smuggling migrants.

    The jackets do not meet safety standards and would not have worked in deep water.

    Some were in child sizes and the rest for adults.? ?They were in a lorry that was intercepted by the Dutch Royal Marechaussee in the city of Zwolle on Monday 9 September.? ?The 23-year-old lorry driver was arrested on suspicion of offences relating to people smuggling and is now being investigated by the Dutch authorities.? ?The consignment was identified by the UK’s National Crime Agency, known as the NCA, is the equivalent of the USA’s FBI.

    It officers suspected the lifejackets had been purchased for use by criminal networks organising Channel boat crossings from France to Britain.? ?The load was initially shipped into Italy before being transported to the Netherlands.? ?Crime Agency investigators worked with European partners, including the Dutch and the Italian Guardia di Finanza, to have the consignment seized.

    OPS: The seized lifejackets were found bagged up

  • No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
    DUKAS_157438684_EYE
    No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
    Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.

    The sun has been shining on Scarborough's South Bay all week, but Steve Crawford isn't opening up the surf shop he's so proud of because the water isn't safe to swim in.

    Poor water quality linked to pollution has been a problem here for many years. But this is the first time Crawford has had to shut completely.

    In a place like Scarborough, summer really matters: this is when the town comes alive, with donkeys and colourful bucket-and-spade shops filled with excited children.

    But here and across the country, just as Britain’s beaches should be filling up, sewage and pollution are shutting them down.

    The figures are alarming. Between 15 May and 30 September last year, sewage was dumped into designated bathing waters more than 5,000 times. There were an average of 825 sewage spills every single day into England's waterways in 2022.

    Warning signs on the beach at Scarborough, north Yorkshire where the sea is unsafe ,the water quality in Scarborough is poor due to the impact of sewage being discharged into the sea.

    No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
    Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.

    The sun has been shining on Scarborough's South Bay all week, but Steve Crawford isn't opening up the surf shop he's so proud of because the water isn't safe to swim in.

    Poor water quality linked to pollution has been a problem here for many years. But this is the first time Crawford has had to shut completely.

    In a place like Scarborough, summer really matters: this is when the town comes alive, with donkeys and colourful bucket-and-spade shops filled with excited children.

    But here and across the country, just as Britain’s beaches should be filling up, sewage and pollution are shutting them down.

    The figures are alarming. Between 15 May and 30 September last year, sewage was dumped into designated bathing waters more than 5,000 times. There were an average of 825 sewage spills every single day into England's waterways in 2022.

    In a place like Scarborough, summer really matters: this is when the town comes alive, with donkeys and colourful bucket-and-spade shops filled with excited children.

    But here and across the country, just as Britain’s beaches should be filling up, sewage and pollution are shutting them down.

    The figures are alarming. Between 15 May and 30 September last year, sewage was dumped into designated bathing waters more than 5,000 times. There were an average of 825 sewage spills every single day into England's waterways in 2022.

    People on the beach in Scarborough, north Yorkshire where the sea is unsafe ,the water quality in Scarborough is poor due to the impact of sewage being discharged into the sea.
