A council is using thermal spy cameras mounted on an aircraft to catch thousands of immigrants living illegally in garden sheds, it emerged today.

Slough borough council believes that up to 3,000 people are being housed in the unsafe and primitive 'sheds with beds', which often lack heating or running water.

In a bid to track them down, it has spent £24,000 on flights to build up a precise 3D map of every building in the Berkshire town.

The plane, mounted with thermal-imaging equipment, was tasked with picking up any heat emitted from outbuildings, a sign that people could be living in them illegally.

Money well spent.

Not bothered about their lack of comforts, more bothered about them being removed from the country.

Good idea. I'm sure some light will be shed in due course. No doubt the tools responsible for 'housing' these immigrants are raking it in by charging the earth.

They need to share this info with the Home Office so they can kick the shed doors in and deport the illegals

And if that fails.....

Sensible solution Jamie. I'm sure Slough Council could get a good bulk buy discount on Hellfire missiles
