An illegal immigrant was among four people apprehended by police and council officers during a crack down on illegal drivers in Hanworth.

More than 50 people were questioned on Wednesday July 15, one untaxed vehicle was impounded and two drivers were questioned in relation to suspected benefit fraud.

The one-day event saw officers from the police, Hounslow Council's fraud office and the UK Border Agency using number-plate recognition technology to identify suspected offenders.

Feltham Community College in Browells Lane will be a hive of activity this August with loads of fun things for local kids aged 7 - 15 to do.
