Human Trafficking Raids
Police officers and representitives from the HMRC conducting raids on local car wash business where employees were found to be working ten hours a day for half the minimum wage and living in 'Dickensian' conditions. Five men and one woman, all of Romanian origin, were taken into voluntary protective custody in the form of the National Referral Mechanism - a Governmental framework for identifying victims of human trafficking and ensuring they receive the appropriate protection and support.
