Eleven women have been rescued from brothels and eight arrests have been made after 17 properties in the UK were raided as part of a human-trafficking investigation.

The 11 women, from Hungary and Romania, were offered support through the national referral mechanism for victims of modern slavery after the raids in Luton on Tuesday evening.
