A Romanian national was arrested in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, last week on suspicion of acting as an unlicensed gangmaster.

The Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) announced on Thursday afternoon (2 April) the man was arrested as part of ongoing investigations into unlicensed labour provisions on fruit farms in County Armagh.

He was suspected of supplying workers to pick apples and other fruit without a licence at various locations in the county – an activity that requires a GLA licence.

He was released pending reports to the Public Prosecution Service.
