Anna Beattie, from the UKBA in Scotland, said: "Anyone in the UK illegally and seeking to evade our immigration laws can expect to be found by us and removed from the UK.

"The UKBA is working with colleagues at registration offices throughout Scotland and receives intelligence from a wide variety of sources.

"We will not hesitate to act against those who mistakenly believe that they can abuse the immigration system."
