Marble Arch, London, UK. 29th August 2014. Begging and rough-sleeping hotspots across London were targeted in the early hours of this morning by the Metropolitan Police, immigration officers and associated agencies under the banner of Operation Encompass. It comes at a time when the ONS recently stated that a "statistically significant" increase in net migration into the UK has taken place in the year up to March.
