Two people have been arrested after immigration raids in Perthshire and Arbroath.

Home Office and Immigration Enforcement Teams worked with the Tayside Division Licensing Department to conduct the operation.

Officers targeted licensed premises last Thursday – a 31 year-old man and 20 year-old woman were taken into custody.

Constable Darren Smith from the Tayside Divisional Licensing Team said: “The initiative focused on visiting premises to conduct licensing inspections, and to identity any safeguarding and welfare issues.

“The Tayside Divisional Licensing Team are pro-active in their approach and will continue to conduct inspections at licensed premises throughout the Tayside area.”
