Po­lice raid­ed a Chi­nese busi­ness com­plex in San Fer­nan­do yes­ter­day morn­ing, ar­rest­ed the own­er and de­tained ap­prox­i­mate­ly 100 for­eign na­tion­als.

Around 5 am, of­fi­cers from an elite se­cu­ri­ty unit swooped down on the com­plex at Union Hall where V’s Mem­bers Club, a su­per­mar­ket, ho­tel and apart­ment com­plex are lo­cat­ed. They de­tained sev­er­al Chi­nese and Span­ish-speak­ing na­tion­als, in­clud­ing chil­dren, who were hand­ed over to the Im­mi­gra­tion Di­vi­sion to de­ter­mine their sta­tus. The own­er was ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with firearm-re­lat­ed of­fences.
