Six charged following plane chase
Six people have been charged in connection with a suspected people smuggling incident in Kent.
They were arrested after a Piper PA-32-300 Cherokee six-seater aircraft was stopped at Headcorn Aerodrome on Friday.

The group, five from London and one from Surrey, are charged with plotting to smuggle illegal immigrants.

They will appear before Maidstone magistrates on Monday. Five others remain on bail.

Plane seized

The six people charged are Mensur Hassan, 32, of Daubeney Rd, Stoke Newington; Anthony Davies, 41, and Jeanette Davies, 40, both of Chalfont Rd, Edmonton; Isa Baskaya, 45, of Bemerton Street, Islington; Indat Oztas, 38, of Carleton Rd, Hornsey; and Wyatt Anderson, 46, of London Rd, Camberley, in Surrey.

One other person was released without charge.

The arrests were made after a plane suspected of flying illegal immigrants into the UK from Belgium and France was seen to make two landings at Lamberhurst airstrip, in Kent.

The National Crime Squad said on Sunday that six adult suspected illegal immigrants and one child had been handed over to the immigration service.

A spokeswoman said five of the adults were from Turkey, and one was from Algeria.
