Hove man in court in connection with migrant smuggling investigation
The 51-year-old was among four people detained on Tuesday
A man from Hove is among four men charged with people smuggling offences.
It follows a National Crime Agency investigation into a crime group alleged to have smuggled migrants from Belgium to the UK in boats.
51-year-old Banet Tershana of Harmwsorth Crescent appeared before magistrates in Nottingham on Wednesday (March 1st), after being arrested on Tuesday morning.
He, and three others from Nottingham and Aylesbury, were remanded in custody. They will next appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 29th March.
The arrests were made as part of an NCA investigation into a group suspecting of organising a series of people smuggling runs to the UK from Europe, including a number of crossing events last year.
