Berkshire and London human trafficking arrests after nail bar raids

18 month investigation, 150 Police on the raids, "victims" being cared for, 10 arrested and all bailed. You couldn't make it up - it could only happen in the UK :cwm23:

I must admit these places are opening up all over the place and seem quite popular. According to the Mail, 15,000 nail bars in Britain are controlled by criminals. They always appear to be staffed by Asians.

I just can't understand any criminal justice policy that allows it to happen. :censored:

No mention of how much the bail was set at either

Thames Valley Police nailed that one.

Vietnamese illegals most of them - the girls work in nail bars and the blokes mind cannabis farms in residential houses

9 times out of 10 its Viets who own and run nail bars, among other things :icon_lol:

I was typing as you put that up. You got it bang on. We call them Nguyens instead of Vietnamese. The cash from the farms is washed in the nail bars and sent back home to invest. Who's to say your nail bar didn't do 200 manicures in a day, cash in "hand" :wink:

It's like all the 'Stani restaurants staffed by illegals - sitting there bold as brass on the High St with more regularly opening and seldom raided by the authorities. If they wore them down with constant raids they'd soon vanish :mad:

[Tawi2]

Remember the slough-shed televised raid a few years ago, in Southall I think it was? One street raided and 13 illegals caught. There's plenty around but UKVI are apathetic, a proactive Immigration Minister could make all the difference in the game.
