Man found in cupboard as officers uncover a dozen illegal immigrants in restaurants
IMMIGRATION raids at restaurants across a Suffolk town have uncovered a dozen illegal immigrants.
Officers from the county’s immigration team swooped on Ballingdon Valley restaurant in Sudbury last week.
Five members of staff, including one who was found hiding in a cupboard, were found to be from Bangladesh and working illegally.
A Raid earlier this month resulted in the arrest of a Bangladeshi man at UK Best Kebabs in Gaol Lane who had overstayed his visa, along with his wife and two children.
An Albanian man was arrested at Northern Bites last month and another two men from Bangladesh were arrested at Kohinoor in Gregory Street last month.
A spokesman from the UK Border Agency said the Albanian man had been removed from the country and they were working to return the others to Bangladesh.
