This is the pattern. These Sinhalees girls try and make this trip to UK through agents operating in Dubai. The money they earned from Arabs is enough to buy them a visa and ticket. Once they arive here they claim asylum, some of them pretend that they are Tamils and use falls names. They use the welfare system to settle down but soon they become bored and turn into prostitution.

Their main clients are Sinhalees living in Uk and Somalis. These prostitues mainly operate in Wembley, Neasden and Cricklewood. There is a large Somali refugee community in these area.
