Migrant crisis: Smugglers JAILED for bringing Vietnamese nationals into the UK onboard HGVs

Two organised criminals at the centre of a major people smuggling ring have been convicted for attempting to smuggle Vietnamese nationals into the UK onboard HGVs.

The National Crime Agency was able to disrupt the gang after receiving intelligence they were operating as part of a much wider and highly organised smuggling network.

The criminal operation was run by UK based Vietnamese national Hai Xuan Le, from his flat in the Handsworth area of Birmingham.
