Police target suburban sex slaves

LONDON, Oct. 4 – British press have reported that UK police have turned their attention to suburbs and market towns in a new operation to rescue some of the thousands of “sex slaves” smuggled in to Britain to work as prostitutes.
All police forces across the UK have begun a three-month series of raids designed to break up human trafficking rings.
At least 4,000 women are believed to have been spirited into Britain to work against their will as prostitutes, although the true figure could be far higher.
A considerable number of them come from Albania.
Police made more than 200 arrests and saved 80 women and girls, including children as young as 14, during the previous phase. Half came from east European countries, such as Romania and Albania, with the rest from the Far East, Africa and South America.
