BRITAIN'S high streets are in the grip of foreign gangs who are selling fake cigarettes and drugs, and employing illegal migrants, according to a new report. Worse, the Government is failing to stop the imported crime wave from blighting our shores.

Mass migration and criminality threaten British way of life

The shocking BBC investigation found mini-markets and fast food shops are selling thousands of packets of illegal cigarettes supplied by smugglers.

Not only is this gang-driven operation depriving the Government of an estimated £2.2billion in taxes, it is putting customers at risk from tobacco containing asbestos, human excrement and dead flies.

As soon as one shop is closed, another opens: local police forces are frankly overwhelmed by the scale and power of these organised criminal enterprises.

The same gangsters are also able to sell illicit drugs and employ illegal migrants. The shops are brazenly ignoring the law and in just one city, Hull, it is estimated there are some 80 stores selling illegal substances.

Research shows that many of these criminal networks are run by Chinese Triad or Kurdish gangsters, many of whom shouldn’t even be here let alone working in UK shops.
