Police have arrested two people in connection with modern slavery offences at three locations in Norfolk.

Officers raided addresses in Little Fransham, Swaffham and Dereham on Monday 20th December after receiving information that suggested the properties were being used by sex workers.

A man aged in his 70s and a woman aged in her 40s were arrested on suspicion of modern slavery and managing prostitution. They were taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning and have since been released on bail.

Three sex workers found at the addresses are receiving the appropriate safeguarding and support.
