Immigration offenders from Thailand have been arrested following an operation at a residential property in Acton.
Home Office immigration enforcement officers visited a flat in Gunnersbury Lane at about 6am yesterday (January 28), acting on intelligence and questioning individuals on their right to be in the UK.
They arrested a 41-year-old woman and 51-year-old man who had overstayed their visas.
The woman was detained pending removal from the country, while the man has been placed on immigration bail but also faces removal from the country if found to have no leave to remain.
Sarah Burton, Head of the West London Home Office Immigration Enforcement team, said: “We will continue to take action against those who are in the country illegally.
“I would urge members of the public with detailed information about suspected immigration abuse to get in touch.”
