Take a look at our Twitter collection below where we have rounded up updates.
The nationwide crackdown see West Midlands Police working with the National Crime Agency, Gangmasters Licensing Authority and immigration officials to target criminals from overseas here in the Midlands. They are also linking up with intelligence experts at Europol's headquarters in The Hague, Holland.
The operation last ran in June when around 900 offenders were arrested ? including 94 in the West Midlands ? and more than 600 vehicles seized.
West Midlands Police Superintendent Paul Keasey, European Operations Commander for the scheme in the UK, said: "Trivium is now an established national operation with proven results of netting foreign criminals operating in the UK and showing that borders are no barrier to justice.
"Officers across the West Midlands will be involved in ANPR operations on the look-out for suspect vehicles, run roadside checkpoints, and support immigration officials on visits to businesses suspected of employing foreign over-stayers."
