A CRACKDOWN on illegal workers in Cumbria has seen nine people arrested in restaurants across the county.
The UK Border Agency and police officers raided The Prince of India in Windermere where they arrested four Bangladeshi men on suspicion of several immigration offences.
Five men were later arrested at Anamika Indian restaurant in Cleator Moor.
The agency said that employing an illegal worker can lead to a fine of £10,000.
They also questioned five workers at Amber Court Chinese restaurant in Grange and seven at British Raj, in King Street, Ulverston.
All were found to be working in the UK legally.
