A major police campaign has been launched to tackle high street shops linked to organised crime. This includes raids, closures, and cash seizures of rogue businesses. New police recruits will gather intelligence on these operations, as the National Crime Agency links £12 billion of criminal cash annually to shops involved in illegal activities. Trading Standards will receive £6 million for a stronger response, while a new High Street Organised Crime Unit will be established. 🌍 What do you think about this crackdown? Leave a comment below!
