Our high streets should work for legitimate businesses, not criminals.

As part of #OpMachinize, an NCA-led crackdown on money laundering, every UK police force, along with Immigration Enforcement, Trading Standards, HMRC and Companies House are all working together to tackle p fronts.

Some high street businesses can be exploited to disguise criminal profits as legitimate earnings. This operation is about protecting our communities and our high streets from that exploitation.
