Immigration
officers have arrested two men after raiding a Neath curry house.A
team from the Border and Immigration Agency surrounded the Simla
Brasserie Tandoori Restaurant on Alfred Street after a tip-off.
After checking
the documents of staff, a Bangladeshi man, aged 28, and an Indian man
were taken to Neath Police Station for questioning. The Bangladeshi
man has already been deported, and the agency is taking steps to
remove the second illegal worker from the UK.
The Simla
Brasserie has been hit with a warning and, in the event of a repeat,
could face prosecution.
The agency's
regional director for Wales and the South West, Jane Farleigh, said
officers were cracking down on people working illegally and the
businesses which employed them.
She added: "We
are taking a robust approach to tracking down people who have no
right to be here, and are removing them from the UK.
"Many
employers work with us to ensure that they only employ legal workers,
but for those employers who do not take this issue seriously, our
message is simple - if you employ illegal workers, you could be named
and shamed and face criminal charges." The operation in
Neath comes at a time of major reform to the immigration system.
Nobody at the
Simla Brasserie was available for comment.
