Lancashire Police have today (Wednesday November 29) arrested seven people in an investigation into human trafficking spanning four counties.
Five men and one woman were arrested during raids at six addresses in Blackburn, Preston, Luton, Greater Manchester and Northampton.
Another man was detained at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool.
All those arrested are suspected of conspiring to traffic for sexual exploitation.
They are currently in custody.
A number of women believed to have been trafficked into the UK from Romania were also rescued from inside the properties and taken to safety. They are now being looked after by specially trained officers.
The investigation was led by Lancashire Constabulary, working with Greater Manchester Police, Northamptonshire Police and Bedfordshire Police.
Det Sgt Stu Peall, of Lancashire Constabulary’s Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Team, said: “Today’s arrests are the result of a long running investigation into a Romanian organised crime group which came to our attention through a number of suspected brothels.
“We are committed to investigating human trafficking and modern slavery and taking robust action against those willing to exploit others for financial gain.
“Modern slavery is a difficult crime to detect and we would urge the public to report any concerns within their communities.
“Acting on intelligence, we have today rescued several women from sexual exploitation and are working with them to secure a better future.
“We will now work to bring those responsible to justice.”

Honestly can't understand why anyone would want to use Vivastreet, especially in in these areas after the large amounts of arrests.

this gang used Vivastreet probably because they had problems getting authentication on AW.
However there are gangs on AW which are just as much a problem. For instance I see the Hungarian gang is back in Burnley, they mainly use Adultwork. Likewise the Romanian gang who regularly stay at the pub/hotel opposite BAE Salmesbury airfield and mainly service truck drivers only advertise on AW. Both sets of girls are "controlled" in much the same way as this lot were

Plod weren't happy with the level of the sentences but weren't too bothered as they're all on the plane the minute they leave Strangeways.

And they were certainly on the ball last week when half a dozen profiles with tens of thousands of views suddenly appeared in East Lancashire gone within a matter of hours.
