They've had a rough time of late so good to see they still do proper coppering. Over 746 low lives rounded up, 2 tonnes of drugs, 55 high end jam jars, 73 luxury kettles and a partridge in a pear tree. Lets hope the judiciary now do their job.

Absolutely,well done to all involved in cracking this.
Partridge season doesn't start for moths yet.
They're for the high jump. ;-)
Fingers crossed it gets to court and as you say the judiciary do their job. A long way to go yet though.
Excellent result so far.
Brilliant news. But the accompanying video is a tad confusing. After they have released what appears to be a stun grenade, who are they actually shooting at as I can't see any targets.
Good result. Very glad they didn't get as far as carrying out the 'contract killings'.

Scary stuff!
The cash should pay for the operation.
On Monday Cressida Dick was under intense pressure about police failure in the Met. Many ABers were vociferous in their criticism and they called for her to resign.

Thursday, Cressida Dick announces a great policing success with Operation Venetian netting hundreds of top level criminals.

Coincidences are often suspicious.
Alas, this is slightly old news. The network was bust on the 12 June, and collars were being felt shortly afterwards.

I don’t think they’re actually shooting at anyone. The noise that sounds like gunshots is to confuse and intimidate the baddies, I believe that’s what was said on the voice over. Could be wrong through..
how many of the arrested end up in prison open to question. these are the sort of people than can afford the best loophole lawyers that money can buy.
Excellent news
Dick should still hang head in shame, this is just a diversion as Gromit points out.
I am not defending the criminals, but there might be a problem.
Encrochat was perfectly legal and a legitimate business in its self.
The NCA illegally broke into it, launched Malware and made thousands of handsets into £3000 bricks.

The Lawyers could argue the evidence gathered was obtained illegally, and is therefore inadmissible.

// Important Security Notice Date Issued: 2020-06-12 Date Viewed: 2020-06-13

Today we had our domains seized illegally by government entities. They repurposed our domain to launch an attack to compromise carbon units.

With control of our domain they managed to launch a malware campaign against the carbon to weaken its security.

Due to the level of sophistication of the attack and the malware code, we can no longer guarantee the security of your device. We took immediate action on our network by disabling connectivity to combat the attack.

You are advised to power off and physically dispose of your device immediately. Period of compromise was about 30 minutes and the best we can ascertain was about 50% of the carbon devices in Europe (due to the Updater schedule). //

Proper coppers still exist? Thank gawd for that. It wasn't the so shall services branch the sent in on the perps in the video was it? Bet that Dick knew naff all about it until it was over or they would have still been hand wringing, consulting with you man rites "experts", and worrying in case there was a black face involved. Now send those tooled up coppers into the offices of the "Police Services" that seem to revel in doing the opposite to right. Well done National Crime Agency....incidentally autonomous and no Cheeeef Constubble to put the mockers on.
//Encrochat was perfectly legal and a legitimate business in its self.//sic

Based in France and protected by the French Government. The system that allowed illegal immigrant gang boss, people smugglers, to communicate with each other and to avoid detection. Then to send hundreds of illegal immigrants to the U.K. Think Boris should just tell em to Frog off.
// The NCA illegally broke into it, launched Malware and made thousands of handsets into £3000 bricks.//

yup there was a sentence on this in the original report which was later taken out. Lawyers already whingeing. see the Wire - putting a device inside a phone needs a warrant but selling a device already wired - doesnt.

This was the basis of the weeping Angel program - so do you watch Samsung or does it watch you ? - the crims buy a machine already bugged and so all that needed is to turn it on and ya dont need a warrant




Great news, and I hope HMG can match their legalese pound for pound.
//Alas, this is slightly old news.//

This is the report from 7 hours ago today.

https://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/operation-venetic
Further digging unearths this.....
"An officer said the evidence “has been obtained by lawfully authorised clearance that has enabled access to his encrypted mobile phone content”, and, "After four years of work by international teams, French investigators managed to access Encrochat, an encrypted platform used by 60,000 people worldwide, including around 10,000 in the UK".
