A Workington nail bar is closed "until further notice" after it was raided by immigration officials.

Officers arrested two illegal workers from Vietnam at Diamond Nails, on Oxford Street, last week and forced the business to close for up to 48 hours while they applied for an order to prevent it employing staff who are not registered to work in this country.

Salford Magistrates Court imposed the order on Friday.

It runs until February 16 2018, and includes requirements that the business owner must check that their employees have the right to work, must permit entry by immigration officers to the premises to inspect for compliance and must inform Immigration Enforcement in writing before opening any other business.

A note on the door of the salon says it is closed until further notice.

Immigration Enforcement said a 22-year-old man, whose application for asylum had been refused, and a 21-year-old woman who had entered the UK illegally, were arrested at the Workington premises and were being detained while steps are taken to remove them from the country.

A Home Office spokeswoman revealed it was the second time immigration officers had found irregularities at the business.

She added: "A previous visit to Diamond Nails, Church Street, Whitehaven, conducted on November 11, found three illegal workers and the business was issued with a civil penalty of £30,000 that remains unpaid.

A further £40,000 fine was also issued following last Thursday's raid.

Paul Airlie, assistant director of Greater Manchester immigration enforcement, said: "Local businesses in Cumbria that persistently employ illegal workers must face the consequences.

"These new immigration powers give us an opportunity to further crack down on those offenders, such as Diamond Nails, where civil penalties have been issued and not paid."

The compliance order applies to all branches of Diamond Nails.

The Whitehaven branch remains open.
