The manager of Chesters Chicken in Golden Hill Lane told the Lancashire Post that officers turned up unannounced and questioned two of his staff but took no further action.

Takeaway boss Edgars Karklins says he is not concerned about the raid or his staffs right to live and work in the UK as he believes Immigration Enforcement were just doing their job.

He said: I would like to know where the information came from. But we dont feel targeted. They [Immigration Enforcement] were just doing their job. They have to check these things.

"As far as I know, somebody reported us [to them] but were not really bothered because we dont have illegal immigrants here. A couple of shops in Leyland have also been investigated, as far as I know, so we dont feel targeted.

Edgars believes all his staffs paperwork to reside in Britain is correct, adding: They all are legally here as far as I know. They [Immigration Enforcement] came, they checked, and everything is alright. There shouldnt be a problem here.

A Home Office spokesperson said: The Government is tackling illegal immigration and the harm it causes by removing those with no right to be in the UK.

"We continue to work with law enforcement agencies to tackle illegal migration in all its forms. Our New Plan for Immigration will fix the broken system; making it fair to those in genuine need and firm on those who seek to abuse it.
