Immigration enforcement officers swoop on Harrogate takeaway

[Dedworth]

Six illegal workers from Pakistan have been arrested after Home Office Immigration Enforcement Officers visited two pizza takeaways in Leeds and Harrogate.

The intelligence-led operations were carried out on Friday evening (19 July) at Domino’s Pizza, Knaresborough Road, Harrogate, and Domino’s Pizza, Street Lane, Leeds.

Checks on the immigration status of staff members at the Harrogate franchise revealed two men, aged 28 and 31, who had overstayed their visas, and a 27-year-old man who had entered the country illegally. All are now detained pending their removal from the UK.

The franchisee for the Harrogate branch has been issued with a civil penalty notice for employing the men. This means the franchisee is now liable for fines of up to £10,000 per employee unless evidence is provided that the correct pre-employment checks were carried out on the men, such as seeing a passport or Home Office document.
