Indian restaurant shut after illegal workers found

An Indian restaurant was temporarily shut down after three men were found to be working there illegally.

Red Rose, in Clevedon, has been handed a six-month court order following a visit by the Home Office's Immigration Enforcement team on 12 April.

Enquiries found three men from Bangladesh, who had no right to work in the UK, were being employed. Despite attempting to evade officers by running out of the back of the restaurant, they were detained and arrested, the enforcement team said.

Taunton Magistrates' Court heard on 16 April how officers had visited the premises twice before and it had previously been issued with a £30,000 fine for hiring illegal workers.
