In the past few days, including the weekend, enforcement around immigration saw the arrest of around 60 persons found working and/or living irregularly in the country.
The persons were all taken to the detention centre as preparations were made to return the persons to their country of origin or a country in which they have permission to reside.
For some of the arrests, police were assisted by officials from the Detention Services.

A fire broke out at the Preluna Hotel on Monday, prompting the precautionary evacuation of several guests.
Times of Malta reported that, according to police, the blaze was reported on the hotel’s third floor, though the extent of the damage remains unknown. Witnesses noted that the fire occurred at the back of the hotel, where construction work was underway. The alarm was raised around 9:30 a.m.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Police have advised motorists to avoid the area, as Tower Road is currently closed to traffic.
A guest from the Netherlands visiting Malta with her family told ToM that they were on the eighth floor when the fire broke out.
“The lift wasn’t working, so we used the stairs,” she said. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene and managed to bring the fire under control.

According to a Gallup Poll on the ‘World’s Emotional Temperature’ surveying data from 2023, Malta registered as the 4th most worried country in the world.
63% of Maltese surveyed people said that they experienced worry a lot in the previous day, with only 37% responding no.
Malta’s answer was high enough to place in the top 5, following Afghanistan at the top place, Israel and Guinea in second and third respectively.
The bottom five had Kazakhstan at the top, following by Taiwan and Vietnam as the least worried.
Do you feel worry often?

The start to July has come with a meteorological warning as temperatures are set to climb to a high 34°C – and could feel even hotter than that!
The lowest temperatures are also set to feel considerably hot at 24°C. A perfect day for the beach – before you remember that it’s a Monday and it’s a day at work for most of us.
But thankfully, following a rather windy (but hot) Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the sunny heat is set to return for the weekend.
Temperatures are also set to feel like 30 to 32°C between Friday and Sunday.
Are you fan of this hot summer weather?
