Illegal workers detained after raid on Bangladeshi restaurant

Employees at a restaurant have been detained after being caught working illegally.

Seven workers at the restaurant in Campbeltown, Argyll, are being held by the UK Border Agency after Strathclyde Police attended the establishment on Tuesday.

The agency said the Bangladeshi men were taken into detention after the raid on the Bangladesh Tandoori on Bolgam Street at lunchtime.

A Border Agency spokesman said that "arrangements are made to remove them from the UK".

Another man who was working at the restaurant is accused of doing so illegally and must report regularly to the police while his immigration case is concluded.

Adam Scarcliffe, assistant director of the UK Border Agency in Scotland, said: "The message for anyone living and working in Scotland illegally is clear – we will track you down and remove you from the country.

"We’re happy to work with businesses to let them know what checks need to be made on staff, but those who break the law should know that they will face heavy fines."

The agency said the business will be served with a civil penalty notice accused of employing illegal workers.
