<p>A huge surge in migrant crossings has taken place over the bank holiday weekend, with what is believed to be a new single-day record on Friday.</p>
<p>Eight inflatable boats – including one packed with 51 people – were intercepted in the English Channel by Border Force on Friday, with 145 migrants in total rescued.</p>
<p>On Saturday, a further 82 migrants were responded to by UK authorities.</p>
<p>Seventy of these were discovered on board inflatable boats, while 12 men were found at Dungeness on the Kent coast.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Border Force was alerted to another boat at 3.20am, and it was found to be carrying 17 people.</p>
<p>They too were taken to Dover, where they will be assessed for symptoms of coronavirus.</p>
<p>The Home Office said attempted crossings are “reckless acts facilitated by criminals that we are determined to stop”.</p>
<p>Since the Covid-19 lockdown was announced in Britain on March 23, at least 853 migrants have been intercepted by UK authorities and brought ashore, according to data gathered by the PA news agency.</p>
