At Indian Restaurant Arrested In Immigration Swoop |
IMMIGRATION
officers raided an Indian restaurant in Whitby and arrested six
members of staff thought to be working illegally in Britain.
The swoop at
the Whitby Tandoori Restaurant and Take Away, in the North Yorkshire
resort's train station, was part of ongoing Home Office operations to
pick up foreign nationals who have secured employment illegally.
The raid on
Tuesday afternoon led to six men, all originally from Bangladesh,
being detained. Four are now facing deportation, although two men are
seeking asylum.
It is
understood that five of the Bangladesh nationals had overstayed
legitimate visas they had obtained before entering the country. The
sixth man entered the country as an illegal immigrant.
