A crackdown across the country led to 171 arrests last month, with 60 people detained for removal.

Those arrested included Indian and Bangladeshi riders in Newham, east London, and Indian staff in Norwich.

Footage showed officers escorting an arrested man into the back of an immigration enforcement van, detaining another man by his bike in the street and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood attending an operation in Streatham, South London.
