Three people have been arrested and twenty two illegal transmitters have been seized in an operation involving Ofcom, the Metropolitan Police and the London Boroughs of Hackney, Haringey, Tower Hamlets and Islington.
20 illegal radio stations have been taken off the air between February 6 and February 16.

Ofcom takes swift and firm action to remove these illegal stations from the air. We work closely with local authorities to ensure that this problem is tackled at source for the benefit of the community."
