The Dartford Crossing: a vital transport hub connecting Kent and
Essex, the busiest river crossing in Europe, and the site of some of
the most vicious organised crime today... For the last decade, there
has been a intense turf war in the south-east of England between two
sets of criminal gangs: On one side, there's the 'Establishment' - the
old-school firms that have operated for decades and weaved their way
into all areas of their communities. On the other, 'The New Kids on
the Bloc' - mainly Eastern European gangs who have muscled in,
boasting they'll crush anyone in their way and dominate the British
underworld. The Dartford Crossing, due to its location between London
and the ports of the south-east, has become the epicentre of these
battles. Since Brexit began, the war has become even bloodier as both
gangs try to claim new territory before the borders close. In an
already terrifying and volatile world of drug smuggling, people
trafficking, prostitution and money laundering, all rules are out and
the body count is rising... With research and interviews from both
sides conducted by one of true crime's most established names, The
Crossing is a ground-breaking and fascinating look inside the UK's
newest crime phenomenon.
