(BBC) Eighty migrants in six boats have been intercepted by Border Force officials in the English Channel.
The Home Office has confirmed that Border Force dealt with a series of incidents on Monday.
Meanwhile, French authorities prevented about 50 people making the crossing on the same day, the government said.
People in blankets and life jackets were led ashore while officials were seen manoeuvring dinghies believed to have been used to make the crossing.
A boat thought to have been used in a beach landing was also picked up by officials along the coast and towed to Dover.
