Indian workers among illegal immigrants held in U.K.

London: Some Indians are among a dozen suspected illegal immigrants employed with a food firm and arrested this week from East Midlands in the U.K.

Official sources here said that the workers — both men and women — were employed at Walkers Snack Foods in the Middlemarch Business Park.

Officers from the Border and Immigration Agency found the immigrants, who are from Ethiopia, Ghana, India and South Africa. It is suspected that they had used suspicious documents to get packing jobs at the company, the sources said.

They were held while attending a training day at a location away from the factory. — PTI
