Shanty Town sham: Romanians evicted from squalid suburban site are offered a choice - free flights back home or move to the next camp
Police and Border Agency officials found 68 immigrants living in squalor
Those who agreed to leave at once were given free flights to Romania

It will now be sold by Barnet council to property developer Montclare

Police and immigration officials moved in yesterday to clear a ‘shanty town’ built by migrants in a leafy London suburb.
A total of 68 mainly Romanian squatters were found living in huts built from waste wood and plastic amid the filth of a tip at a former football ground.
Just five of those at the camp, which was featured in the Daily Mail earlier this month, were found to have the right to work in the UK.
Dozens of Romanian immigrants were evicted from their camp on the former site of Hendon Football Club
Some 68 mainly Romanian squatters were living in the huts made of plastic and waste wood amid filth
All but five were offered flights back to Romania at a cost of £50 per ticket to the taxpayer
The Romanians had been living in shacks made out of discarded planks of wood and scrap metal
The rest were offered flights back to Romania at a cost of £50 per ticket to the taxpayer. Only 19 took up the offer.
The rest were told they would have to leave the country within 30 days, but were released on to the street to live rough or in shelters, meaning it could cost up to £15,000 for police to find each of them, monitor them and eventually remove them.

Migrants have been living at the vermin-infested former Hendon FC ground for more than two years despite it having no running water, electricity or sanitation.
They scavenged in the rubbish for clothes to wear or things they could sell.
Barnet Council sold the site to developers for housing last year but legal challenges over the freehold had held up the clearance of the site.
The deal was finally completed on Monday.
