Suttons uncovers anti-smuggling container for Border Force28 August 2019

Widnes, Cheshire-based logistics business Suttons International has supplied a tank container to Border Force, the Home Office law enforcement agency.

The tank container is designed to help train officers in the detection and prevention of illicit goods entering the UK.

Barry McNally, managing director of Suttons International, says: “Suttons is proud to assist the Home Office in keeping the UK’s borders safe and secure, and has supplied Border Force with a training tank that can be used to demonstrate where contraband items might be hidden to aid detection when freight enters the UK from overseas.

“As experts in isotank training, we were quickly able to fit out a suitable tank, based on our existing training design, to show how the tank could be modified to hide contraband.”

Border Force will also use the tank container for demonstration purposes at courses and conferences, with the potential to train other border agencies around the world, in future.
