Slaves in every town and city in UK
10 August 2017
There are modern slaves in every large town and city in UK. A chilling reporta by the National Crime Agency (NCA) reveal numbers are on the increase.
The NCA is currently helping with the investigation of some 300 live police operations nationwide.
There are victims as young as 12 being sold to families in the UK from Europe. Most of the victims are from Eastern Europe, Vietnam and Nigeria.
The NCA has launched an advertising campaign to raise awareness of the signs of modern slavery in everyday life. How the public can spot the 'signs' of a modern slave is
difficult, but the head of the NCA , Will Kerr, stated that victims are often found depressed and not very communicative.
