Four people were handed down custodial sentences by Jersey’s Royal Court on Friday for their parts in a successful investigation run by Jersey’s Customs and Immigration Service.

Speaking about the case, known as Operation Mink, JCIS Senior Manager, Luke Goddard, said “Operation Mink was a complex and lengthy investigation, carried out by our Investigation Unit.

“This successful prosecution demonstrates the capability JCIS has in taking on criminal syndicates using professional measures to conceal drugs, launder money and carrying out counter measures such as switching vehicles in an attempt to throw off any law enforcement activity.

“It also shows that we will prosecute members of syndicates involved in criminality who may be a step away from the movement of illicit drugs across our border.”

Last weekend (4–6 September), we carried out a planned maritime enforcement operation with support from UK Border Security Command officers aboard HM Cutter Vigilant.

Officers monitored private vessels entering Jersey waters and carried out checks on arrival. We saw a high level of compliance, with only minor issues identified — and no offences detected.

The operation also provided valuable training for JCIS officers and strengthened joint working with our partners, including Jersey Coastguard and Jersey Fisheries, whose protection vessel Norman Le Brocq was deployed.

Head of Service Rhiannon Small said:
“Effective customs and immigration controls are essential to protecting Jersey’s borders. JCIS remains vigilant to the risks posed by illicit goods and individuals seeking to evade border controls, and we will continue working closely with our partners to keep Jersey’s borders safe, secure and well protected.”

The Minister for Justice and Home Affairs, Senator Helen Miles, is continuing to press for action to address travel difficulties experienced by some Islanders since the introduction of the UK's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme. Senator Miles has written to airline carriers and consular representatives seeking their assistance to ensure passengers with legitimate immigration permissions issued by Jersey are not wrongly prevented from travelling.

Islanders who are due to travel are reminded to have relevant documents with them, if they have them, as they’re valid for travel. These include:

✅ Visa vignette or,
✅ Work permit or,
✅ Supporting official documents (including EUSS letters)
