Hundreds arrested after criminal phone system is infiltrated

Law enforcement groups have made an "unparalleled victory against kingpin criminals" after taking down a military-grade encrypted global communication service. Thousands of officers from the NCA, regional crime squads and every police force in the UK were involved in the massive international sting which made 746 arrests, claimed £54 million in criminal cash, 77 firearms and seized over two tonnes of drugs.
