In the dead of night, immigration enforcement officers swooped on a Greater Manchester abattoir. Two men were arrested for working illegally following a raid which began at 11pm on Thursday (March 16), while the business owner could be fined as much as £40,000.
It followed a tip-off to the Home Office last year about people allegedly working illegally and living in accommodation at the site. Officers visited the business last November, where they received an 'adverse reaction' during the visit, before a warrant was issued to return to the site last night.
The team carrying out the raid were prepared for a difficult night in challenging conditions, with live animals on-site. Officers were given the order to take their time in a briefing before the raid.

Kendal Barnett, immigration enforcement officer, said: "It's really tough - this is not a usual environment for us to work in. It's different hazards that we don't normally come across, so it's a challenging one."
More than a dozen immigration officers descended onto the site, first trying to force entry by breaking the lock to a gate. After around five minutes, the owner came outside in blood-stained overalls and agreed to let the team inside.
The Home Office team immediately got to work searching the area, scattering across the premises. Inside what appeared from the outside to be an office space, officers discovered cramped accommodation on the first floor.
In one room, a mattress was dumped on the floor next to bunk beds. The space also featured a double bed, a small shower cubicle and a living area.
