SMUGGLERS SUNK: Three Charged After Essex Shoreline Sting

The National Crime Agency just added three more names to its bust list. Polish nationals Konrad Dabrowski (25) and Damian Ciuron (41), both from Bradford, were cornered by Essex Police in Holland-on-Sea on Wednesday, July 1st. They were rumbled dropping off a number of people at the shoreline. Christian Albano (45), an Italian national, met a similar fate when Border Security Command, with HM Coastguard backup, swooped on him at sea. All three are now charged under Section 25 of the Immigration Act (1971). They’ve been remanded into custody and will face Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court this Friday. A fourth man, an Albanian national aged 57, is still cooling his heels in custody. Meanwhile, six individuals from the boat are being held for immigration offences and will be dealt with by Immigration Enforcement.
