The UK Government confirmed the news following extensive operational investigative work and surveillance.
The Colorado beetle was discovered in Kent in July 2023, following laboratory diagnosis of samples, with one finding later that year.
The beetle can completely strip the leaves from potato plants and several other crops, including tomatoes, aubergines and peppers, and can have a significant economic impact if left uncontrolled.
