Nineteen Arrested In Restaurant Raids   Border control officials and police recently arrested 19 suspected illegal immigrants after a series of raids on Chinese restaurants in North-East Wales. Two others suspected of running an operation that left the suspected illegal immigrants living in "squalid conditions" were also arrested after the raids on Thursday evening. Those arrested were being interviewed by North Wales Police and the Border and Immigration Agency last night after swoops in Rhyl and Ruthin. Two of the 19 were later released, leaving seven women and 10 men from China and Malaysia to be questioned by officers. Around 50 police and immigration officers raided five restaurants, including four in Rhyl and one in Ruthin. Police suggested one of those detained, a woman of about 20 years old, indicated she had been held against her will. Detective Chief Inspector Dave Jolly, who headed the operation, said, "The purpose of the police-led operation was to tackle those who are suspected of assisting individuals to enter into the country and hiring illegal workers." Interviewing the workers was expected to take "some considerable time" and they may face deportation, officers said. Regional director of the Border and Immigration Agency Jane Farleigh said preventing illegal immigrants remaining in the country was one of the organisation's top priorities. She said, "Not only do these jobs provide a pull factor for illegal immigrants, but they can lead to major abuses of the immigrants themselves and see genuine businesses being undercut by rule-breaking companies." top
