The Sentinel

July 07, 2025

THE Home Secretary has hailed the UK's cooperation with France after reports that authorities are using nets in the sea to try to prevent small boats crossing the Channel.

The Sun On Sunday reported that French police have been laying nets in the water which could jam boat propellers, in an attempt to reduce the number of crossings.

It comes after reports on Friday that French police officers had used knives to puncture a boat off the coast.
