Immigration officers have arrested two Bangladeshi men for working illegally at a takeaway in Whitland. The two men, aged 38 and 27, were found working in the kitchens of the Barbucci Indian takeaway, in St. John Street, by a team from the Border and Immigration Agency.  The men, who have no right to work in the UK, were taken to Haverfordwest Police Station for questioning following the intelligence-led operation which was carried out on the morning of Sunday, December 2. The takeaway received a warning over employing illegal workers, while the immigration status of the two men arrested is currently being considered by the agency. Immigration officer Andrew Hogan, who was in charge of the operation, said: "We were able to arrest two men who had been working at this business illegally. "It is thanks to information from the public that we are able to visit businesses such as this and arrest those who should not be working in the UK." Border and Immigration Agency regional director for Wales and the South West, Jane Farleigh, explained that cracking down on illegal working is a key priority for her officers. She said:  "We will not tolerate illegal working. That's why the Border and Immigration Agency is investing more money in enforcement and forging ever-closer links with the police. "Illegal working is unfair on honest employers who recruit staff with the right to work in the UK and who pay them a proper salary. "We act on intelligence and tip-offs from the public and our partner agencies - we cannot perform these operations alone." The operation in Whitland comes at a time of massive reform to the UK's immigration system. The UK Government has announced that a tough, Australian-style points-based system for managing immigration is being introduced in February next year. Negligent employers will face a suggested maximum civil penalty of £10,000 for each illegal worker they are found to be employing under a new Government crackdown. The new legislation on illegal working also includes prison sentences or unlimited fines for those who knowingly employ illegal workers.
