"Authorities say the man was involved in illegally ferrying migrants across the Channel from France, where the drowning incident occurred off Equihen Beach."
"The taxi tactic involves drivers in motorized inflatables cruising prearranged pick-up points and migrants running out into the water to board the vessels."
"French authorities say Thursday's drowning victims were far from shore when they perished, adding that they had been swept away by dangerous currents."
A 27-year-old Sudanese man was arrested by the UK's National Crime Agency for his involvement in the drowning deaths of four migrants in the English Channel. The incident occurred when two men and two women drowned while attempting to board a taxi-boat. The man was arrested under new UK border security laws for endangering lives during the illegal ferrying of migrants from France. Authorities are focused on preventing such dangerous crossings and are questioning survivors of the incident.
