Illegal workers at site of new Wrexham 'super prison'

A number of illegal workers have been found to be working on the construction site of Britain's newest prison.

Flintshire Magistrate's Court heard today how immigration enforcement officers raided the site of the new £212 million Berwyn Prison in Wrexham, on Friday.

One Ukrainian man said to have been in the UK illegally for ten years was remanded in custody; his case was sent to Mold Crown Court.

The £212m prison facility will be big enough to hold around 2,000 inmates when it opens in February next year.
