Immigration officers were spotted at Glastonbury Festival station as revellers made their way to Worthy Farm. Home Office bosses have now explained why they were at Castle Cary.
A picture shared on Twitter showed two officers in uniform standing outside Castle Cary station as people headed to Worthy Farm. The image shared on social media by Griff Ferris features the two officers standing against a fence while ticket holders going to the festival wander past them.
The Twitter user blasted their presence at Castle Cary, saying it was causing a "hostile environment". However, the Government has confirmed to SomersetLive why it sent the enforcement officers to the station. A Home Office spokesperson said it was linked to a multi-agency operation.
