A Dunfermline takeaway has been hit by immigration enforcement officials in raid which saw a number of people detained.
China Blue, on Main Street, Townhill, was raided on Saturday night in an "intelligence-led visit", with three people being taken away.
According to the Home Office, the three were "detained for removal", and the owner of the Chinese takeaway is facing a potential fine of £45,000 per person - meaning £135,000 in total.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “We are determined to clamp down both on illegal working and the exploitative treatment of illegal workers.
“Vulnerable individuals can find themselves trapped in unsafe and insecure conditions, facing exploitation and even modern-day slavery, often facilitated by organised criminal gangs.”
