Watch: BBC sees police raid on fake gay asylum claims gang

Three people have been arrested after a raid on a suspected criminal network believed to be behind dozens of fake asylum claims from people pretending to be gay.

It follows a BBC investigation earlier this year which revealed that law firms and advisers were helping migrants pose as gay in an effort to get asylum.

The BBC's Politics Investigations Correspondent, Billy Kenber, joined members of the Home Office Immigration Enforcement team as they looked to arrest the group's suspected ringleaders on Tuesday morning.
