The Immigration Department (ImmD) mounted a series of territory-wide anti-illegal worker operations codenamed “Fastrack”, “Lightshadow”, “Twilight”, and a joint operation with the Hong Kong Police Force codenamed “Champion”, for four consecutive days from May 19 to yesterday (May 22). A total of 14 suspected illegal workers, three suspected employers and three overstayers were arrested.
During the anti-illegal worker operations, ImmD Task Force officers raided 75 target locations including commercial buildings, massage parlours, residential buildings, restaurants and retail stores. Twelve suspected illegal workers and three suspected employers were arrested. The arrested suspected illegal workers comprised five men and seven women, aged 36 to 60. Among them, one woman was a holder of recognisance form, which prohibits her from taking any employment. In addition, three women were also suspected of using and being in possession of a forged Hong Kong identity card. Three women, aged 53 to 60, were suspected of employing the illegal workers and were also arrested.
