(BBC) A suspected people-smuggling gang accused of bringing hundreds of people to the UK in small boats has been broken up, the Home Office says.
A 36-year-old British Syrian man was detained at his flat in north-west London on Thursday morning, bringing the total number of arrests to 14.
The group is alleged to have helped more than 600 people cross the Channel in May alone.
About 80% of the people they are thought to have smuggled were Syrian.
Home Secretary Priti Patel, who watched the raid being carried out, said she had “repeatedly and unapologetically” pointed out that smuggling people by illegal means put lives at risk.
