Three people are arrested following raids by UK government officials at central London souvenir shops selling royal family and UK-themed gifts, according to reports. The operations involve staff from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Home Office, who carry out surprise visits to businesses in the city centre. The raids target six stores that stock merchandise related to the royal family and other “UK-themed” items. Authorities are investigating potential immigration offences and tax evasion connected to the shops. The reporting indicates that the arrests are linked to checks carried out during the visits, though further details on charges or the specific findings are not provided in the supplied summaries. The actions are described as enforcement operations combining immigration compliance and tax compliance work by the two departments. The reports do not mention the locations of the shops beyond being in central London, nor do they specify whether additional people were questioned beyond those arrested.
