18 December 2020
Two people have been arrested in North Nottinghamshire on suspicion of committing modern slavery offences, following a joint operation by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) and Nottinghamshire Police.
GLAA investors arrested a 25-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman at a home in Mansfield on 14 December after receiving allegations about people being trafficked into the town from other parts of the UK, with the intention of financially exploiting them.
They were detained on suspicion of human trafficking and labour exploitation offences and released under investigation following questioning.
A search was also carried out at the address in Mansfield where the arrests were made.
