Acting on intelligence, UK Border Agency officers visited the Bejing Diner in St Mary’s Street at about 6.30pm on Wednesday.

Agency spokesman Adam Edwards said three men from Malaysia and two Chinese women were arrested for a variety of immigration offences. All five are now in detention and are awaiting their removal from the UK.

No-one from the Beijing Diner was available for comment.
