LONDON (AP) — Three people hired to work as Olympic venue security staff in Newcastle have been arrested on suspicion of immigration offenses, British officials said Friday.
The arrests come after Newcastle City Council earlier this week replaced G4S — the company providing security at its Olympic stadium — with local firms amid concerns over the company’s staffing shortfalls. The city in northern England is hosting Olympic soccer matches for both men and women at St. James’ Park.
