UK Threat Assessment:
3 Organised criminals make use of ‘specialists’ who provide a service, sometimes to a range of criminal groups. Services include transport, money laundering, debt enforcement…
17 …Successful serious organised criminals ensure that they or their transporters are knowledgeable about border controls and about related law enforcement measures and techniques.
32 Most organised crime groups appear to sub-contract transport to trusted specialists, including drivers, with whom they have built up a level of trust. British organised crime groups will often share transport to reduce costs and risks and to maximise profits. Traffickers continue to make significant use of UK-bound Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), concealing drugs either in a variety of legitimate loads or in specially constructed compartments.
