Chinese Takeaway Raided

Posted on 25 January 2012

Three illegal workers from China remain in immigration detention following a UK Border Agency raid on a Cheltenham takeaway.

Officers raided the takeaway and checked the immigration status of workers.

A 47-year-old man was found to be a failed asylum seeker, a 42-year-old woman had entered the UK illegally and a 39-year-old woman had stayed in the UK illegally after her visa expired.

All three were arrested and have since been transferred to immigration detention.

The 47-year-old man is due to be removed from the country over the coming weeks while the other two illegal workers have outstanding immigration claims. If they are found to have no right to remain in the UK, they will also be removed.

Gourmet San now faces a fine of up to £30,000 if they cannot prove they followed correct immigration proceedures.
