People smuggled into UK via Victoria coach station | News: "Drugs, weapons and people are being smuggled into Britain by crime gangs using Victoria Coach Station, police revealed today.
Random checks on coaches arriving in London have revealed an extraordinary hotbed of crime ranging from people trafficking to drug running.
A Scotland Yard operation has led to 72 arrests — including wanted people-traffickers and paedophiles — in the past six months.
The checks have also revealed a worrying number of defects and safety problems on coaches arriving from the Continent.
Police in Westminster are using tactics normally employed by border officials to screen passengers arriving in London. Coaches are picked at random and their passengers and luggage are searched and screened for drugs and weapons. Sniffer dogs are also used to check for contraband and specialist officers employed to scour coaches for hidden caches of drugs."
