Ministers are putting the UK at risk by 'willingly turning a blind eye' to gangs smuggling migrants and drugs on yachts into Britain via quiet villages, officials have warned.Smugglers are turning to yachts to provide the clandestine route for people to enter the UK illegally while avoiding detection, typically for those not wishing to claim asylum.It's being warned that smugglers are increasingly turning to more inland destinations to load and unload their cargo - in many cases people who may be coming to the UK to work illegally or otherwise evade authorities.A National Crime Agency campaign aimed at encouraging the public to report suspicious vessels, Project Kraken, has been relaunched in villages more than 30 miles away from the coast.It comes after a spate of smuggling stings which have revealed private pleasure crafts carrying up to two dozen people, drugs or other goods crammed under deck after they attempted to arrive in the UK.Just this week, five men were arrested after a yacht carrying seven Albanian nationals was stopped off the south coast of England.Yachts carrying migrants have been foiled all around Britain's coastline, including off the coast of Newquay, Brixham, and Chichester. But less conventional targets have also included the village or Rye, East Sussex, two miles inland.Officials have now warned the government has no grip on the crisis - with successful finds almost entirely dependent on tipoffs or luck. They say this allows people who may have criminal records, previously have been deported or be vulnerable to exploitation to enter the country unchecked.
