Six men have been arrested in the UK over their suspected involvement in a major people smuggling ring.
They were apprehended on Wednesday following a joint investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Belgian police.
The men - all Afghan nationals - were wanted in Belgium but were arrested by NCA officers at addresses in Leicester, Birmingham, Coventry and Essex after warrants were issued by the Belgian courts.
According to the NCA, prosecutors say the men were allegedly involved in organising the transport of migrants from Afghanistan through Iran, Turkey and the Balkans into Western Europe and in moving migrants to the UK on small boats.
