A Newcastle car wash, which employed four illegal workers, has been served a prohibition notice.
On Wednesday, February 9, the North East Regional Specialist Operations Unit (NERSOU) disruption team carried out a visit to the Arena car wash on Plummer Street after concerns were raised over the welfare of staff and their working conditions.
They were joined by teams from Northumbria Police, National Crime Agency, Health and Safety Executive (HSE), HM Revenue and Customs, Immigration Enforcement and the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA).
