Stretch Limos have been condemned against people who are taking or selling drugs. Some stretch limousine businesses in the UK are acting as a front for organised crime, senior police officers have told BBC News.
In the first UK-wide operation targeting limousines, police uncovered crimes including drug dealing, money laundering and car ringing.
The National Limousine Association - set up to bring some regulation to the industry - says it knows the industry has been infiltrated by people who are using it for illegal purposes.
The association says it wants the illegality to stop so that legal, reputable companies can get on with their job. |
