To prevent Newham and Hounslow residents help prevent their money being used by fraud gangs they are being urged to use registered money bureaus when transferring money aboard.  Some unregistered foreign exchange bureaus illegally launder money to fun crime which includes terrorism, people smuggling, weapons and drug cultivation.  During the time of Eid, Navaratri and Birth of the Blessed Mary it’s particularly busy with people transferring money aboard to families or charities.   Crime stoppers are currently appealing to residents to be vigilant and pass on any information on individuals whom they think are funding the crime.  People can pass the information on anonymously.
